A former Culver resident was sentenced to 32 years in prison on charges of serious violent felon in possession of a firearm with an enhancement of habitual offender.
Russell Prosser, 44, was found guilty of those charges in a trial in February.
The case began in December of 2013 when officers found Prosser sleeping in a truck in the McDonald’s parking lot in LaPaz. He was a suspect in a case where several thefts occurred from vehicles in Culver. Guns were spotted by police inside the vehicle. A warrant to search the vehicle was obtained, and the weapons were confiscated. He was known by police to have been convicted of an armed robbery, and it was illegal for Prosser to possess any firearm.
