An Ottumwa man has been sentenced to 19 years in prison for dealing meth, possession with intent to deal meth, possession of a firearm for use in drug trafficking and possessing a firearm when not allowed to do so. According to court documents, 35-year-old Hector Ramon Iglesias Tovar of Ottumwa was involved in distributing one and a half kilos of meth. Because he is in the US illegally, Tovar’s possession of an AR-15 rifle and a .45 caliber handgun violated federal law. This past May, Tovar’s co-defendant, David Lemley of Ottumwa, was sentenced to seven years in prison for pleading guilty to distributing meth.
