Iowa Man sentenced for gun charges

A northeast Iowa man will spend two years in federal prison after police say he was high on meth and had a handgun in a Dubuque store. The sentence for 27-year-old Austin Oberbroeckling of Farley was handed down recently in a US District Court. He had pled guilty to a charge of possession of a firearm by an unlawful drug user. In August 2019, officers found Oberbroeckling in the bathroom of a Dubuque business while on meth with a loaded handgun. He also must serve three years of supervised release after his prison term.
