COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa – A Pottawattamie County man was sentenced Wednesday in U-S District Court, to a little more than 11-years in prison on a drug charge. 37-year old David Walling, Jr., of Council Bluffs, was sentenced for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. Walling will serve 134 months in prison to be followed by a five-year term of supervised release.

On July 13, 2019, law enforcement attempted to stop Walling, who was operating a motorcycle, in a parking garage in Council Bluffs. Walling failed to stop for police and took off at a high rate of speed. Walling was stopped before he could exit the parking garage. At the time of Walling’s arrest, he was found to be in possession of 43.34 grams of actual methamphetamine.

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