(South Bend, IN) - A Michigan City man is heading to a federal prison.

Davon Coleman, 21, was given a seven year sentence behind bars for having a stolen firearm.  Authorities say it was illegal for him to have a gun due to prior convictions for crimes such as robbery.

Coleman was found with the loaded gun during a traffic stop in Michigan City.

He must also serve three years on probation once released from prison under the sentencing order handed down at U.S. District Court in South Bend.
