Kept Loaded, Uncased Gun Within Reach of Minor Children
A convicted felon who illegally possessed a gun was
sentenced May 6, 2020, to twenty-one months in federal prison.
Mitchell Kubik, age 32, from Harpers Ferry, Iowa, received
the prison term after a guilty plea to illegally possessing a firearm as a
felon. Statements at sentencing showed
that Kubik kept a loaded, uncased rifle on a chair in the family room of a home
he shared with three minor children. At
the time, Kubik had a prior felony conviction for forgery.
Kubik was sentenced in Cedar Rapids by United States
District Court Judge C.J. Williams.
Kubik was sentenced to twenty-one months’ imprisonment. He must also serve a three-year term of
supervised release after the prison term.
There is no parole in the federal system.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods
(PSN). PSN is the centerpiece of the
Department of Justice’s violent crime reduction efforts. PSN is an evidence-based program proven to be
effective at reducing violent crime. Through PSN, a broad spectrum of
stakeholders work together to identify the most pressing violent crime problems
in the community and develop comprehensive solutions to address them. As part of this strategy, PSN focuses
enforcement efforts on the most violent offenders and partners with locally
based prevention and reentry programs for lasting reductions in crime.
