Perryville man sentenced for gun possession

A Perryville, Mo., man was sentenced Tuesday in federal court on charges of unlawfully possessing firearms.

Shawn Galeski, 26, received 39 months in prison for being a previously convicted felon in possession of a firearm. He agreed to forfeit seven guns.

On Dec. 31, officers went to his home and served him with an ex parte order of protection. He was told that he must not possess any guns after service of the order. He moved the guns from his bedroom to his grandmother's bedroom.

On Jan. 6, the guns were removed by police. Later Galeski filled out a form and requested their return. He listed himself as the owner.

Galeski was previously convicted in 2002 of felony distribution of marijuana.
