A Hannibal man on Monday was sentenced to prison after he was caught with stolen firearms in 2020.

Ronald Allen, 46, was sentenced to five years and three months in prison.

Hannibal police and the Ralls County Sheriff’s Office were investigating the theft of firearms when they located Allen on Dec. 24, 2020 in a home in Hannibal.

Officers said they found three stolen semi-automatic pistols, drug paraphernalia, prescription pains and marijuana in the home. Two of the guns were stolen the night before in Ralls County and the other was stolen from Jefferson City, according to court documents.

Allen pleaded guilty in April to being a felon in possession of a firearm.

The Hannibal Police Department, the Ralls County Sheriff’s Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kourtney Bell prosecuted the case.
