CEDAR RAPIDS – A man who hid a firearm in the back of a police car when he was arrested in 2019 was sentenced today to more than 4 years in federal prison.
Juwan Logan, age 43, from Waterloo, Iowa, received the prison term after a January 15, 2020 guilty plea to being a felon in possession of a firearm.
In a plea agreement, Logan admitted he was driving a motorcycle on October 17, 2019, when he was stopped for a number of traffic violations. When Logan was arrested for driving while barred, he was placed in the back of a police car. Although he was patted down, Logan was able to keep a small handgun hidden on his person. Prior to arriving at the Black Hawk County Jail, hid the handgun in the vehicle. Officers found it a short time later. Logan has prior convictions for domestic abuse and possession a firearm as a felon.
Logan was sentenced in Cedar Rapids by United States District Court Judge C.J. Williams. Logan was sentenced to 57 months’ imprisonment. He must also serve a 3-year term of supervised release after the prison term. There is no parole in the federal system. Logan is being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a federal prison.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Patrick J. Reinert and investigated by Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in concert with the Waterloo, Iowa, Police Department.

“Logan has prior convictions for domestic abuse and possession a firearm as a felon.”
He was already convicted once of having a firearm as a felon. I wonder how much time he got on that one?
The cop who failed to find the gun while patting him down needs to be written up. That sort of gross neglegence is what gets colleagues killed.
He’ll be out in two and back within one. Guaranteed
