COVINGTON, Ky. — Gregory Pritchett, 47, of Covington, was
sentenced today, by United States District Judge David L. Bunning, to a total
of 242 months in federal prison, for unlawfully possessing a firearm.

Under federal law, Pritchett must serve 85 percent of his
prison sentence; and upon his release, he will be under the supervision of the
United States Probation Office for a term of five years.
