An Illinois man has been sentenced in an Iowa federal courthouse to 50 years in prison for more than a dozen counts, including domestic violence, stalking and illegal bomb-making. Federal prosecutors for Iowa say 43-year-old Chad Eric Mink, of Rock Island, Illinois, was sentenced Thursday in Davenport’s federal courthouse. He had faced up to life in prison for the convictions. There is no parole in the federal system. Prosecutors showed that Mink had used a stolen truck to ram a vehicle carrying his ex-girlfriend and her boyfriend and had planted a pipe bomb near the ex-girlfriend’s hotel room.
