Nicholas Janvrin, Firearm and Meth Convictions, Iowa 2024
A Fort Dodge man has been sentenced to more than 13 years in federal prison for his role in a firearm and methamphetamine conspiracy.
Nicholas Janvrin, 32, was sentenced on October 23, 2024 to 160 months' imprisonment in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa.
Janvrin had previously pleaded guilty on March 27, 2024 to illegally possessing a firearm and conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.
The charges stem from a disturbance at a local hotel in Webster City on August 1, 2023, where law enforcement seized a firearm (Smith & Wesson .22 revolver) and drug user/distribution paraphernalia from a bag in the room.
Evidence at the plea and sentencing hearings showed that Janvrin had been involved in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine from January 2023 through August 2023, obtaining more than 40 pounds of methamphetamine from a source in Des Moines to re-distribute to others in the Fort Dodge area.
Janvrin was previously convicted of burglary, third degree, a felony, in the Iowa District Court for Hamilton County, which prohibits him from possessing any firearm.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Shawn S. Wehde and was investigated by the Iowa Division of Narcotics Enforcement, the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, the Webster City Police Department, the Fort Dodge Police Department, the Webster County Sheriff’s Office, the Iowa DCI Laboratory, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
