ELKHART, Ind. - An Elkhart man was sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Toby Ray Taylor, 36, was sentenced to 10 years in prison followed by three years of supervised release.

Taylor was arrested after police tried to pull him over on an outstanding parole warrant but he allegedly did not stop for them.

When he was stopped, officers found a handgun under the driver's seat that was loaded, had an extended magazine and an obliterated serial number, according to case documents.

Police also found methamphetamine and marijuana in the vehicle, reports said.

Taylor has a prior felony conviction that prohibits him from having a firearm in his possession, law enforcement said.
