SIOUX CITY – A Spirit Lake Man was sentenced July 30, 2021 to more than 5 years in federal prison.
Dylan Robert Hurd, age 30, from Spirit Lake, Iowa, received the prison term after a February 18, 2021, guilty plea to possession of a firearm by a felon.
At the plea hearing, Hurd admitted to knowing he was restricted from possessing a firearm after being convicted in 2017 of assault causing serious bodily injury in Dickinson County, Iowa. Hurd knowingly possessed a .380 ACP caliber Smith & Wesson M&P handgun.
Hurd was sentenced in Sioux City by United States District Court Chief Judge Leonard T. Strand to 63 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.
Hurd 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 Ron Timmons and was investigated by the Spirit Lake Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
