           Ronnie Gene Lewis, 55, of Galena, was sentenced to four years in prison last week after he shot a rifle at cars and deputies in 2016. 
           According to online court records, Lewis pleaded guilty to two counts of unlawful use of a weapon on May 9, 2018. He was sentenced by the Honorable Judge Goodman in Stone County Circuit Court on Thursday, August 16. He is to be incarcerated with the Department of Corrections and serve four year sentences for each count, with the sentences served concurrently. 
           In December of 2016, Stone County Deputies responded to Simmons Bank in Galena on a Sunday evening after reports of a man firing a rifle at cars were made to the Sheriff’s Office. 
           Lewis reportedly also shot the rifle at the deputies. They were able to talk him into dropping the weapon and he was taken into custody without further incident. 
           Lewis was originally charged with two counts of assault on a law enforcement officer, two counts of armed criminal action and one count of unlawful use of a weapon. 
           ​In addition to his incarceration sentence, Lewis is to pay $150 in restitution and $46 to the Missouri Crime Victim’s Compensation fund.
