Marcus, Iowa — A Marcus man has pled guilty in federal district court in Sioux City to illegally possessing firearms.
According to federal prosecutors, 36-year-old Reese Hageman admitted that on April 18, 2019, law enforcement executed a search warrant at the farm residence of his father and seized nearly two pounds of methamphetamine and several guns.
Prosecutors say that during the search warrant execution, law enforcement seized four guns, including an AR-style rifle, a small quantity of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia, all of which, they say, were attributable to Reese Hageman. Hageman further admitted that he was a regular methamphetamine user, and had been in possession of three rifles and a .410 shotgun. Federal law prohibits those using illegal drugs from possessing guns.
Sentencing will be set after a presentence report is prepared. Hageman remains free on bond. He faces a possible maximum sentence of 10 years’ imprisonment, a $250,000 fine, and not more than three years of supervised release following any imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system.
