CEDAR RAPIDS — A former eastern Iowa police chief has been sentenced to two months in federal prison for stealing a police gun and lying to a federal agent.
Forty-eight-year-old Jeffrey Filloon was sentenced Monday. The former Tama Police Chief had pleaded guilty to several charges in February. Prosecutors said Filloon took at least three firearms and four vehicles from the Tama Police Department between August 2013 and March 2015. Authorities say he sold the guns to a pawn shop and the vehicles at a salvage yard.
Filloon was also ordered to pay $5,200 in fines and court costs, and pay $1,625 in restitution.
