Rahmaan El Herman, 41, was sentenced to more than one year in federal prison for violating the terms of his supervised release.
El Herman, from Sioux City, Iowa, was found guilty by a Judge of breaching the conditions of his supervised release. He was originally sentenced in October 2008 to 180 months imprisonment with 5 years of supervised release following his conviction of conspiracy to manufacture and distribute crack cocaine.
The evidence presented at the hearings showed that El Herman failed to comply with multiple conditions of his supervised release. This included multiple failures to report for drug testing and possessing a firearm during an assault on another person.
El Herman was sentenced in Sioux City by United States District Court Chief Judge Leonard T. Strand. The prison term he received is 12 months plus one day. He will also have to serve a one-year term of supervised release after completing his prison sentence.
It’s worth noting that there is no parole in the federal system. As a result, El Herman will serve out his full sentence without the possibility of early release.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Shawn S. Wehde and investigated by the U.S. Probation Office and the Sioux City Police Department.
El Herman 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 04-4042. Court file information is available online.
