He pleaded guilty to both charges and was sentenced to federal prison. After his release, he was placed on supervised release, but he failed to comply with the terms of his release and was arrested again in 2019.
During the search of Ankeny’s residence, officers found more than four pounds of methamphetamine, a pound of heroin, and drug packaging material. Ankeny was charged with possessing with intent to distribute methamphetamine, heroin, and cocaine; possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime; and illegally possessing firearms as a convicted felon.
Ankeny pleaded guilty to possessing with intent to distribute methamphetamine and illegally possessing a firearm as a convicted felon. He was sentenced to 230 months in federal prison.
