SIOUX CITY, Iowa – Possessing a firearm as a drug user is sending a Worth County man to federal prison.
Cory Allen More, 33 of Manly, has been sentenced to two years behind bars, followed by three years of supervised release, after pleading guilty in U.S. District Court to one count of possession of a firearm by a drug user.
More was driving on October 23, 2023, when his vehicle ran out of gas in Clear Lake. A police officer made contact with More while he was outside his vehicle, checking on his engine. The officer says he saw two baggies of marijuana on the ground near More and that More had a handgun in a holster on his belt.
