Ashton Man Sentenced In U-S District Court

November 22, 2014

(Sioux City)– An Ashton man has been sentenced in U-S District Court on a drug charge.

23-year-old Casey Farnsworth was sentenced to time served…or about six months…in federal prison after pleading guilty earlier to a charge of conspiracy to distribute marijuana.

Farnsworth was also placed on two years’ supervised release following his prison term.

In a plea agreement, Farnsworth admitted he and others distributed five pounds of marijuana.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant U-S Attorney Kevin Fletcher. It was investigated by the Clay, Osceola and O’Brien County Sheriff’s Offices, the Iowa Division of Narcotics Enforcement and the Iowa State Patrol.
