A Jackson man pleaded guilty Wednesday in federal court to one felony count of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.
Mark J. Lampe, 35, appeared before U.S. District Judge Henry Autrey.
On Jan. 6, 2002, a Scott County deputy, responding to a report of trespassing on County Road 217, found Lampe holding a 12-gauge, pump action shot gun.
Lampe was previously convicted in 1987 of felony stealing and in 1989 of second degree assault.
He now faces up to 10 years in prison and up to a $250,000 fine. Sentencing was set for May 5.
