Foster Allen Ray, a 72 year old resident of Gandeeville, was sentenced to two years in prison and three years supervised release for being a felon in possession of a firearm. The sentence came after Ray was found guilty of shooting a loaded Savage Model 99 300 caliber level action rifle from over 100 feet away at two individuals inside a truck trapped on his property to ”scare them.” The bullet lodged inside the truck but did not hit the driver or the passenger. Due to revious felony convictions for unlawful assault and child abuse by a custodian resulting in injury, in Roane County, Ray was prohibited from possessing a fire arm.
