A Pottawattamie County man was sentenced 73 months in prison, Wednesday, for one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. The judge also ordered 33-year old  Rodney Lee Koehrsen, of Council Bluffs, to serve four years of supervised release following his imprisonment.

The U-S Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa says Koehrsen entered a plea of guilty to the charge on January 4, 2017. His arrest followed a traffic stop that occurred on June 9, 2016, in Harlan, which led to the recovery of methamphetamine and other contraband items.

The Harlan Police Department and the Iowa Department of Public Safety’s Division of Narcotics Enforcement conducted the investigation. The case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa.
