The US Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Iowa reports a man from Carroll who possessed a gun after a previous attempted burglary conviction in 2019, was sentenced Tuesday in Sioux City, to more than 2 years in federal prison. Officials say 19-year-old Buomkuoth Lol received the prison term after an August 24, 2020, guilty plea to possession of a firearm by a felon. At the guilty plea, Lol admitted on May 8, 2020 he possessed a gun and .40 caliber ammunition.  Lol admitted to knowing he was prohibited from possessing guns after being convicted of attempted burglary in Buena Vista County on November 5, 2019.

Lol was sentenced to 27 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. Lol is being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a federal prison.
