A Columbia man has pleaded guilty to a federal gun charge.

The U.S. Department of Justice says 31-year-old Lajuan Martin admitted to being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Martin was arrested after Columbia police stopped him for driving without a license.

Officers say they found a gun and drugs during the arrest.

Martin has prior felony convictions, which bar him from owning a firearm.

He remains in the Cole County Jail, and a sentencing date has not yet been set.
