Iowa Man Gets 5 Years on Drug and Gun Charge

By Daren Sukhram

SIOUX CITY (AP) - A western Iowa man has been sentenced to five years in prison for having a gun while trafficking drugs.

Thirty-six-year-old Thomas Huntley of Onawa was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Sioux City on Tuesday. He pleaded guilty in May to one count of knowingly possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.

Officials with the U.S. attorney's office say Huntley acquired methamphetamine in Omaha, Neb., in 2006, and took the drug to Onawa, where he traded it for a stolen Ruger pistol. Officials say he then took the gun as he traveled to Whiting, Iowa, to sell methamphetamine.
