A Dubuque man who fired a gun near a group of people following a fight was sentenced on Tuesday to more than 12 years in prison.
31-year old Marvin Brantley received the prison term after guilty plea last November in US District Court to possession of a firearm by a felon.
In April of last year, Brantley was arrested after his involvement in a fight outside a bar in Dubuque. The investigation showed during the disturbance Brantley pulled out a gun and fired at the group and that he was a felon at the time of the shooting. There were no injuries in the incident. Brantley had seven prior adult criminal convictions, four of which involve violence or assaultive conduct.
