(Radio Iowa) – A Chicago man caught in Iowa City two years ago with marijuana and a lot of cash has been sentenced to federal prison. Twenty-three-year-old Travon Ambrose pleaded guilty to gun and drug trafficking charges and has been sentenced to five years in prison. Prosecutors say police identified Ambrose as a drug distributor in the Iowa City area in the fall of 2019. During a search of his residence, authorities found 100 grams of pot, a bunch of pills, nearly 12-thousand dollars in cash and a gun.

Last year, Ambrose was again caught with what the U.S. Department of Justice describes as large quantities of marijuana.
