(Council Bluffs) Two Council Bluffs individuals were sentenced to federal prison for possessing firearms as felons.
According to public court documents, in December 2022, law enforcement obtained a search warrant for the joint Council Bluffs residence of 37-year-old Anthony Michael Huff and 37-year-old Bobbie Jo Adkins. Inside the residence, a loaded 12-gauge shotgun was in a bedroom, where a marijuana grow lab was also located, as well as ammunition found in the living room. On Adkins’s cell phone, law enforcement later located photos of the shotgun where Huff told Adkins “we got the gun.”
Huff and Adkins are both felons and prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition. In 2012, Huff was convicted of two felony counts of terroristic threats in the Nebraska District Court for Dodge County. In 2015, Adkins was convicted of possessing a firearm as a felon, in the Iowa District Court for Page County.
Huff received a 37-month sentence, followed by a three-year term of supervised release. Adkins received a 48-month sentence, followed by a three-year term of supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system.
