COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa - United States Attorney Marc Krickbaum
announced that on November 12, 2019, 24 year-old Javon Joshua Jennings was
sentenced to 57 months in prison by District Court Judge Rebecca Goodgame
Ebinger for one count of Tampering with a Witness, and one count of Retaliating
Against a Witness. Jennings was also ordered to serve a three-year term of
supervised release for each count, to run concurrently, following the period of
incarceration. The sentence was also ordered to be served consecutive to a
sentence imposed in state court in April, 2019, for Child Endangerment Causing
Death and Involuntary Manslaughter.
An inmate in the Pottawattamie County Jail was served a
subpoena by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in April, 2019, and when the
inmate informed his family in a telephone conversation other inmates overheard
the conversation. Shortly thereafter, Jennings repeatedly assaulted the inmate
that had been served with the subpoena.
This case was investigated by the Council Bluffs Police
Department, the Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office, and the Federal Bureau
of Investigation. The case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s
Office for the Southern District of Iowa.
