Overview
- A plea agreement filed Wednesday says Ian Roberts will plead guilty to illegal possession of a firearm and to falsely claiming U.S. citizenship on an I-9.
- Prosecutors will recommend credit for acceptance of responsibility, make no promises on sentencing, and decline additional related charges in the Southern District of Iowa.
- A change-of-plea hearing is scheduled for Thursday afternoon in Des Moines, and Roberts remains in custody awaiting sentencing.
- The case followed a Sept. 26 ICE operation in which agents reported finding a loaded handgun and $3,000 in his district vehicle and three more firearms at his home.
- Roberts resigned days after his arrest as his administrator license was revoked and the school board demanded proof of work authorization.
