DES MOINES, IOWA -- A former Heartland man is facing more than 16 years in federal prison on drug and bomb charges.
Jerry Lee Schlarbaum, 31, formerly of Stockport, Iowa, will serve the time on charges of conspiracy to manufacture meth and possession of a pipe bomb in connection with drug trafficking.
Schlarbaum was arrested in March 2008 after a Henry County traffic stop. His vehicle was searched, and Mount Pleasant Police discovered the pipe bomb and numerous items related to meth production.
After his prison term, Schlarbaum, will be on supervised release for eight years.
