Sioux City Man Sent to Federal Prison for Receiving and Possessing Child Pornography

May 17th, 2024 by Ric Hanson

(Sioux City, Iowa) – A man who was convicted by a jury for receiving and possessing child pornography was sentenced, this past Thursday (May 16, 2024), to 16 years in federal prison. 35-year-old Anthony Michael Tucker, from Sioux City, Iowa, received the prison term after a jury verdict finding him guilty of Receipt of Child Pornography and Possession of Child Pornography.

Evidence at trial showed that in January 2022, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received a Cybertip from Google that accounts belonging to Tucker contained over 85 images and seven videos of child sexual abuse material. The images and videos included depictions of sadistic or masochistic conduct as well as prepubescent children and toddlers.

During trial, jurors watched a video-recorded interview of Tucker speaking with an Iowa DCI agent where he admitted he was responsible for the content on the Google account and stated, “there’s more that I run across…those are just the ones I kept.” In 2010, Tucker was previously convicted for Lascivious Acts with a Child. Tucker, then 21, had sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old female.

Tucker was sentenced in Sioux City by United States District Court Judge Leonard T. Strand. Tucker was sentenced to 192 months’ imprisonment. He was ordered to pay $3,000 in restitution to the victims of the offense. He was also ordered to pay $1,200 in additional fines and assessments. Tucker must also serve a 5-year term of supervised release after the prison term. There is no parole in the federal system.

Tucker is being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a federal prison.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.

Nurse Sentenced to Federal Prison for Stealing Pain Medication from Patients and Fined $20,00

May 17th, 2024 by Ric Hanson

(Sioux City, Iowa) – A registered nurse from northwest Iowa was sentenced today (Friday) in Sioux City District Court, to seven months in federal prison for stealing controlled substances from patients and falsified medical records at a life care center where she was employed. 32-year-old Cassandra Lynne Vonnahme, of Arcadia, in Carroll County, was also ordered to pay a $20,000 fine.

Vonnahme pled guilty to one count of acquiring a controlled substance by means of misrepresentation, fraud, deception, and subterfuge, and one count of false statements relating to health care matters on November 30, 2023.

Vonnahme admitted that between November 2020 and December 2020, she diverted controlled substances and falsified related medical records. The controlled substances she stole and the records she falsified pertained to actual patients. Evidence at sentencing also revealed that Vonnahme burglarized 5-6 homes after losing her job as a nurse for stealing patient’s medication. She was later convicted of impersonating a public official after another burglary in Carroll County in 2021, where she pretended to be a county assessor in order to gain entry into a stranger’s home and then stole controlled substances.

In addition to her prison sentence and fine, Vonnahme must serve a 2-year term of supervised release after the prison term. There is no parole in the federal system. Vonnahme was released on the bond previously set and is to surrender to the Bureau of Prisons on a date yet to be set.

The case was investigated by the Iowa Department of Inspections & Appeals, Medicaid Fraud Control Unit and was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Ron Timmons.

Senator Ernst says student loan bailout hurts military recruiting

May 17th, 2024 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – Iowa Senator Joni Ernst says the student loan bailout is hurting the military’s ability to recruit new soldiers.*

The Republican from Red Oak says the anti-American rhetoric on campuses and online has also influenced those considering military service. Ernst is a retired National Guard soldier, and made her comments while discussing recruiting with the Secretary of the Navy.

Ernst says the Biden Administration’s student loan payoffs haven’t helped.[

Ernst says part of the challenge of recruitment that we don’t reward those who serve enough or we give their benefits to others that don’t deserve them.
