Capone, 49, appeared in U.S. District Court in Coeur d'Alene where he was sentenced to two years and nine months in prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Assistant U.S. attorney Mike Mitchell said Capone was also sentenced to three years of probation and a $3,000 fine. Mitchell said two people spoke on Capone's behalf before the sentencing.
The family of Rachael Anderson were also present in the courtroom. Mitchell said they wore t-shirts and buttons with Anderson's name and pictures.
In July, Capone pled guilty to the charge. Capone was arrested in May on the gun charges.
Anderson is Capone's estranged wife and has been missing since April. Investigators said Capone is the last person to report seeing her.
