Iowa Man Gets 20-Year Sentence for Drug Trafficking | Des Moines News

Iowa City’s Richard Allen Tuan Casey, 37, just got sentenced to nearly 20 years in federal prison for conspiring to distribute meth and cocaine—and using a phone to push the drugs. The operation spanned from early last year to May, with authorities catching him in Ames with $70K in cash, ready to buy 30 pounds of meth. After controlled buys by an informant, they raided his home, finding 22 pounds of meth, a loaded gun, packaging, and cocaine. He pleaded guilty to four charges in January. A jury acquitted him on two gun-related counts, but the drug convictions still landed him a 235-month sentence—with five years of supervised release to follow.
