COUNCIL BLUFFS, IA - On September 14, 2015, Daniel Eugene Hannan, a 40 year-old resident of Council Bluffs, Iowa, was sentenced by Senior United States District Court Judge Robert Pratt to 120 months in prison on the charges of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and possession of a stolen firearm, announced United States Attorney Nicholas A.
