INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - A man with an extensive criminal history in Marion County has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.

United States Attorney Joseph H. Hogsett announced Thursday that Raymond Smalls, 40, will spend the next 10 years in prison after he was convicted of having illegally possessed a firearm.

Smalls was prosecuted out of the U.S. Attorney’s Violent Crime Initiative.

Law enforcement officials found Smalls with the firearm in Jan. 2011. It was also found he had an extensive criminal history, including a felony conviction in Florida. He also has multiple convictions in Marion County for possession of cocaine, resisting law enforcement with a vehicle, possession of marijuana and strangulation.

At the end of his prison term, Smalls was also sentenced to serve a supervised release. He is required to serve 85 percent of his sentence in prison, according to a release.
