A Jasper man has been sentenced to nearly six years in federal prison. 25-year old Floyd
Michael Richardson was arrested in May of last year when officers saw getting out of a
vehicle at the Jasper Manor Apartments with what appeared to be crack cocaine in plain
view in the car. Richardson fled the scene as officers attempted to apprehend him. A search
of the car revealed a stolen loaded firearm. Richardson, a convicted felon, could not posses
a firearm. He was sentenced to 70 months yesterday.
