ST. Paul – A Red Lake man was sentenced today to four years in prison followed by three years of supervised release for possessing an unregistered firearm.

According to court documents, on September 27, 2019, following a 911 call, officers responded to a Red Lake home and found 36-year-old Keith Lussier, Jr., in possession of a 12-gauge sawed-off shotgun.
