Pierre Man Sentenced To Almost 4 Years For Firearm Felonies

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — A Pierre man convicted of two firearm felonies has been sentenced to almost four years in prison.

Acting U.S. Attorney Randy Seiler says 40-year-old Clyde Aquallo was sentenced to 46 months in custody this week.

Aquallo was convicted in January for possession of an unregistered firearm and prohibited person in possession of a firearm. Both charges carry a sentence of 46 months but he will serve both at the same time.

Seiler says Aquallo was living on the Rosebud Sioux Indian Reservation in February when police came to his house for a domestic violence call.

Seiler says police learned there were firearms in the house. They eventually found Aquallo owned several guns, including a sawed-off shotgun that had a barrel that was too short.
