Grimy Times has learned that a Chicago man has been sentenced to over three years in prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm in Iowa.
Anthony Redman, 30, was sentenced to 46 months in federal prison and fined $100 on February 17, 2023, for being a felon in possession of a firearm in the Northern District of Iowa. He must also serve a three-year term of supervised release after the prison term.
Redman was previously convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm in Cook County, Illinois, in 2007.
According to court documents, on November 26, 2019, Redman was a passenger in a vehicle located at a motel in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Law enforcement responded to the location based on a 9-1-1 call reporting shots fired. When officers asked Redman to remain in the area, he attempted to flee to a hotel room. He was stopped and a loaded Glock .380 semiautomatic firearm was located in his coat pocket.
Redman was arrested and charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm. He pleaded guilty to the charge on December 18, 2020.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program aimed at reducing violent crime through a broad spectrum of stakeholders working together to identify and address the most pressing violent crime problems in the community.
Redman is being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a federal prison.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Elizabeth Dupuich and investigated by the Cedar Rapids Police Department and the Sixth Judicial District Department of Correctional Services.
