A North Iowa woman, who entered a guilty plea to a charge of a national firearms destructive device not registered to possessor, was sentenced Friday to 42 months in federal prison.
38-year-old Sarah Kay Johnson of Mason City was sentenced in Sioux City.
In October of 2023, law enforcement officers did a traffic stop on Ian Jon Duffy, Johnson’s then boyfriend, due to concerns about his wellbeing. At that time, he possessed multiple loaded firearms. Duffy had a prior domestic abuse conviction which prohibited him from possessing firearms. After the traffic stop, Duffy had Johnson obtain a Glock handgun for him. At this time, Duffy was also prohibited from possessing a firearm due to a felony conviction. Johnson obtained several firearms that she shared with Duffy in their residence, including a sawed-off shotgun.
After serving her prison term, Johnson must also serve a three year term of supervised release.
