Redfield Man Sentenced to More than 14 Years in Federal Prison for Drug and Gun Charges

DES MOINES, Iowa - A Redfield man was sentenced on July 16, 2026 to 173 months in federal prison for possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine and possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking.

According to public court documents, Gideon Lee Corbett, 34, was encountered by the Dallas County Sheriff's Office in August 2025. Inside the vehicle Corbett drove, law enforcement found nearly 40 grams of methamphetamine and a loaded, chambered pistol. Corbett was on parole for 2021 convictions from the Iowa District Court for Guthrie County, during which Corbett also possessed methamphetamine and a loaded firearm.

After completing his term of imprisonment, Corbett will be required to serve a four-year term of supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system.

Dallas County Sheriff Adam Infante said "I want to commend the outstanding work of our Patrol Division and Criminal Investigations Division for their efforts in arresting and thoroughly investigating Gideon Corbett. Their work resulted in a convicted felon being held accountable while removing methamphetamine and a stolen firearm from our community. This case is a great example of the strong partnerships we have with our federal law enforcement partners and the U.S. Attorney's Office."

United States Attorney David C. Waterman of the Southern District of Iowa made the announcement. The Mid-Iowa Narcotics Enforcement Task Force and the Dallas County Sheriff's Office investigated the case.
