Larry Wayne Robbins, 67, from Goodell, Iowa, was sentenced to 6 months in federal prison for possessing a firearm while being an illegal user of marijuana. Robbins received the prison term after an April 11, 2024, guilty plea to one count of possession of a firearm by an unlawful drug user, marijuana, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3), and 18 U.S.C. § 924(a)(8).
In a plea agreement, Robbins admitted he waived a gun at a neighbor in Hancock County while that individual was mowing a ditch approximately 300 yards east of Robbins’s house. A search warrant later executed at Robbins’ home located guns, ammunition, and marijuana.
Robbins was sentenced in Sioux City by United States District Court Judge Leonard T. Strand. Robbins was sentenced to 6 months’ imprisonment less 46 days credit for time served on his sentence in Hancock County. He must also serve a 2-year term of supervised release after the prison term. There is no parole in the federal system.
Robbins will remain on supervision by United States Probation until he can self-surrender to a federal prison.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Kevin C. Fletcher and was investigated by the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and the Hancock County Attorney’s Office.
Robbins will begin serving his sentence after he self-surrenders to a federal prison. The exact date of his surrender has not been released by the authorities.
