Sioux City, IA (KICD)– A Cherokee County man is going to federal prison on a drug conviction.
42-year-old Jason Persons of Quimby was given more than seven years behind bars on Tuesday after pleading guilty last August to distributing methamphetamine in the Sioux City area.
Persons admitted to selling the drug during a post-arrest interview that he said helped support his own addiction that led to a similar conviction in 2003.
Following his time in prison, Persons will be required to serve a five-year term of supervised release. He remains in the custody of the United States Marshal pending transfer to a federal facility.
