Illegal Possession of Explosive Devices, Guns Results In Prison Term

(Sioux City, IA) An Arnold’s Park man will spend five years in federal prison for illegally possessing explosive devices and guns. Thirty-seven-year-old Darrell Sorey pleaded guilty to one count of receipt and possession of an unregistered firearm/destructive device. Investigators say Sorey’s father died in a rollover vehicle accident in Marion County in January of 2020. Officers found rifles, ammunition, a pipe bomb, and two CO-2 “cricket” bombs inside the car. That led to searches of three residences in Dickinson County — where officers found Sorey, narcotics, drug paraphernalia, more bombs, and guns.  Sorey was sentenced last week in Sioux City federal court.
