A felon found with an arsenal of guns in his home has been sentenced to six years in prison.

William "Ricky" Harris, 34, pleaded guilty to possession of firearms by a convicted felon and access device fraud.

Police found a dozen guns, including five shotguns, three pistols and two rifles, in Harris' home in December 2011 after he was previously convicted of a felony in 2003.

"I know I sound like a broken record, but this office simply has no tolerance for convicted felons who illegally arm themselves," U.S. Attorney Joe Hogsett said in a news release. "We are doing all we can to help reduce violent crime, and we are committed to keeping guns out of the hands of violent, repeat offenders in this Indianapolis."

Harris was also found with more than a dozen counterfeit credit cards, debit cards and fraudulent account numbers.
