(Council Bluffs) The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa says 59-year-old Russel Paul Sorbello, of Omaha, Nebraska, was sentenced last week to 132 months in federal prison for possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute and possessing a firearm as a prohibited person.
According to public court documents, in March 2023, Sorbello was found in possession of methamphetamine and cocaine during a traffic stop. In a subsequent search of Sorbello’s hotel room, law enforcement located additional drugs, including methamphetamine, cocaine, and marijuana. Officers also located a firearm in Sorbello’s possession.
Upon release from prison, Sorbello will serve a 5-year total term of supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system.
