A Castroville man accused of posting "anti-government and pro-white" messages online and sharing social media posts urging others to blow up infrastructure, was sentenced to five years in prison on a weapons charge. Buel DeWayne Smiley, 63, was sentenced in federal court this week on one count of felon in possession of a firearm, officials with the U.S. Attorney's Office said Monday.
