A 31-year-old man from Humboldt, Iowa, was sentenced to a significant prison term after pleading guilty to being a felon in possession of a stolen firearm and ammunition.
DJ McMillan, a resident of Humboldt, Iowa, received the prison term after a guilty plea to possession of a stolen firearm and ammunition by a felon. He was sentenced to 30 months’ imprisonment in the United States District Court in Sioux City.
According to the evidence presented, McMillan was convicted of burglary in the third degree in 2014, which prohibited him from possessing guns and ammunition. Despite this, he was found in possession of a stolen gun while shoplifting from Target on November 25, 2020. Additionally, he was found to be in possession of ammunition when he shoplifted from Menard’s earlier that same day.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Ron Timmons and Mikala Purdy-Steenholdt, and investigated by the Webster County Sheriff’s Office.
McMillan will serve a 30-month prison term, followed by a 2-year term of supervised release. It is worth noting that there is no parole in the federal system.
McMillan is currently being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a federal prison. The case file number is 21-3004, and more information can be found at https://ecf.iand.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/login.pl.
