A Sibley, Iowa man was convicted of illegally possessing multiple firearms in federal court in Sioux City on December 2, 2021.
Levi Dimmitt, 34, from Sibley, Iowa, was found guilty of being a prohibited person in possession of multiple firearms. As a user of controlled substances, Dimmitt is prohibited from possessing guns.
A search warrant was executed at Dimmitt’s residence on April 24, 2021, where officers discovered drug paraphernalia, a drug ledger, marijuana, methamphetamine, and four guns.
According to reports, Dimmitt admitted to using marijuana and methamphetamine while in possession of the guns at his plea hearing. This admission is a key factor in his conviction, as it proves his prohibited status.
Dimmitt is currently in the custody of the United States Marshal pending sentencing. He faces a possible maximum sentence of 10 years’ imprisonment, a $250,000 fine, and up to three years of supervised release following any imprisonment.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Patrick T. Greenwood and was investigated by the Sibley Police Department, Osceola County Sheriff’s Office, and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
The case file number is 21-4062. Court file information can be found at https://ecf.iand.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/login.pl. Follow us on Twitter @USAO_NDIA for updates on this and other cases.
