JEFFERSON CITY — The father of a girl who was killed near Jefferson City has been sentenced to more than 19 years in federal prison for illegal possession of firearms.
The U.S. attorney's office said Dale Olten Sr. was sentenced Thursday to a longer term because he had prior felony convictions. He pleaded guilty in February to being a felon in possession of a firearm and to possessing stolen firearms.
