A Spencer man has been sentenced to eight years in federal prison on a gun charge. 41-year-old Demetrius Wright was not allowed to have a gun after a conviction on a domestic abuse charge in 2017 and judges in Iowa and Florida had issued protective orders against him. According to the U-S Attorney’s Office, Wright had someone else buy him a pistol last year and he displayed the gun in a video, to send a threat to someone. Then, last August, authorities say Wright took a semi-automatic handgun that someone else had used in a shooting, to try to keep police from finding the weapon.
