An Arizona man has been convicted by a federal jury of distributing fentanyl and methamphetamine in the Dubuque area.
43-year old Daniel Van Gorp was found guilty last week after a four day trial in federal court in Cedar Rapids.
Evidence showed Van Gorp mailed multiple packages with fentanyl pills, fentanyl powder, and “ice” methamphetamine to Alexander Chapman in Dubuque. Chapman then re-distributed the controlled substances to others in the Dubuque area. In May 2023 the fentanyl powder mailed by Van Gorp was used by a victim who suffered a serious bodily injury.
Van Gorp faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years imprisonment and a possible maximum sentence of life imprisonment when he is sentenced.
