DUBUQUE, Iowa — 30-year-old Hombra Montrell Williams pleaded guilty Thursday in U.S. District Court to possession of a firearm by a person convicted of domestic violence.

The case stems from a traffic stop on April 14, 2025, in Dubuque. Officers stopped Williams while a child was in the back seat of his car. During the search, they found a stolen, loaded handgun on the floorboard where Williams had been sitting. His DNA was recovered from the gun.

Court documents show Williams has a 2021 conviction for domestic abuse assault causing injury. Investigators also reviewed his Snapchat account and found videos of him posting about drugs, holding multiple guns, and firing a gun into the air.

Williams faces up to 15 years in federal prison and three years of supervised release. Sentencing has not yet been scheduled.

This case was handled in federal court in the Northern District of Iowa. For official updates, refer to public court records.
