An Atlantic man was sentenced Tuesday to more than 3.5-years in prison for possessing a stolen firearm. U-S District Court Judge John Jarvey handed down the 46-month term for 42-year old  Gregory Allen Jennings,  and ordered Jennings to serve three years of supervised release when he completes his imprisonment.

On November 12th (2013), Jennings pled guilty to knowingly possessing a stolen firearm. The charge was the result of an investigation into firearms which were stolen from a vehicle in Atlantic, Iowa, in January of 2013. The investigation revealed that Jennings had received the firearm shortly after it was stolen, and was attempting to sell the firearm when it was located by law enforcement.

The investigation was conducted by the Atlantic, Iowa, Police Department, and the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the case was prosecuted by the U.S.
Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa
