A local man has been sentenced to prison time for a firearms offense.

42-year-old Frank Woodall of Effingham was sentenced to three years in prison Monday on a charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Counts of disorderly conduct, aggravated assault, two counts of resisting or obstructing a peace officer, and aggravated assault of a peace officer were dismissed as part of the plea.
