WILMINGTON — An area man received a 12-month prison term for having a loaded pistol when he’s not legally allowed to possess a firearm due to his prior convictions.

Jimmy R. Hamm Jr., 29, of Midland, was determined to be in possession of a firearm — a .32 caliber Harrington pistol — on May 5 after a sheriff’s deputy was dispatched to Canada Road for a suspicious vehicle and the driver reportedly slumped over the wheel, stated an affidavit.

Hamm had prior felony convictions in Clinton County: a felonious assault in a 2010 case, and illegal assembly or possession of chemicals for the manufacture of drugs in a 2011 case.

He received a seven-year prison term in the felonious assault case.

When the sheriff’s office determined that Hamm illegally had a handgun May 5, it also found that Hamm was on parole.

The specific name of the gun-related conviction is “having weapons while under disability,” which is a felony of the third degree.

The defendant agreed to forfeit the firearm and ammunition, court papers said.

The prison term issued in the case was “not opposed by the interested law enforcement agency,” the Clinton County Sheriff’s Office, according to a court paper.

Credit was granted to Hamm toward his prison term for 95 days he served locally in the county jail on the case. He had been detained in the jail since the May date of the crime until his August sentencing hearing.
