Sioux City Man Sentenced For Failing To Register As Sex Offender
Contact: Peter Deegan
A man who was convicted in Nebraska for a misdemeanor sex assault in 2006 was sentenced on August 30, 2010, to more than one year in federal custody because he failed to register as a sex offender in Iowa.
Ambrose H. Tyndall, age 27, from Sioux City, received the sentence after a May 25, 2010, guilty plea to one count of failure to register as a sex offender. At the guilty plea, Tyndall admitted he was required to register as a sex offender, traveled across state lines to Iowa, and knowingly failed to register or keep his registration current as required by federal law.
Tyndall was sentenced in Sioux City by United States District Court Judge Donald E. O’Brien to 12 months’ and 1 day incarceration. A special assessment of $100 was imposed, and Tyndall must also serve a five-year term of supervised release after his release from custody. There is no parole in the federal system.
Tyndall is being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a facility to be designated by the federal Bureau of Prisons.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Janet Petersen and investigated by the U.S. Marshals Service.
