CEDAR RAPIDS – A Waterloo man, who is a felon and shot a firearm at a residence after assaulting a woman, was sentenced October 26, 2022, to ten years in federal prison.

Trivansky Tyrique Swington, age 29, from Waterloo, Iowa, received the prison sentence after a jury found him guilty of possession of a firearm by a felon on February 9, 2022.

Evidence at the trial and sentencing showed that in February 2021, Swington was at a party in Waterloo. Swington and three others left the party and got into a vehicle. Swington then assaulted one of the women in the vehicle. Swington scratched at the woman, pulled her hair out, and held a gun to her head. The woman and other people inside the vehicle were able to get out. Swington then punched another woman in the face. Swington took off down the street on foot. A few moments later, he turned around and fired at least two shots at the residence where the party was being held. A three-year-old child was inside sleeping at the time. Officers were able to locate Swington a few blocks away. They also used a police K-9 to locate the firearm, which Swington had tried to bury in the snow. Swington has ten prior convictions including convictions for assault, harassment, and conspiracy to commit robbery.

Swington was sentenced in Cedar Rapids by United States District Court Judge C.J. Williams. Swington was sentenced to 120 months’ imprisonment. He must also serve a three-year term of supervised release after the prison term and pay a $100 special assessment fee. There is no parole in the federal system.
