A Pottawattamie County man was sentenced Thursday in Council Bluffs U-S District Court, to seven-years in prison for being a Felon in Possession of a Firearm. 31-year old Jordan James Collier, of Council Bluffs, was also ordered to serve three-years of supervised release.

His sentence was the result of an investigation which began with a call from the American Inn in Council Bluffs regarding a firearm located in a patron’s room. Upon arrival, officers entered the room and located a black and silver, .32 caliber revolver on the bed along with drugs and drug paraphernalia. Collier was contacted as he returned to the hotel room and it was determined he had previously been convicted and sentenced in the Southern District of Iowa for the crime of Possession of an Unregistered Firearm, making his possession of firearms or ammunition illegal.

The case against him was investigated by the Council Bluffs Police Department and Southwest Iowa Narcotics Task Force, and prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa.
