Dubuque, Iowa — A 24-year-old Dubuque man faces multiple felony charges after authorities say he intimidated someone with a dangerous weapon, possessed a firearm as a convicted felon, and interfered with official acts Friday morning.
Tyshaun Debrae Estes, 24, was arrested at approximately 8:00 a.m. on July 10, 2026, in the 2300 block of Washington Street in Dubuque. He was taken into custody by Officer D. Brant.
According to arrest records, Estes is charged with:
• Intimidation with a Dangerous Weapon (Injure/Provoke Fear) — a felony.
• Felon in Possession of a Firearm — a felony.
• Interference with Official Acts (All Other) — a misdemeanor.
Details of the specific incident, including the alleged victim, the nature of the intimidation, or the circumstances surrounding the firearm possession and interference, were not immediately released by authorities. Police have not yet disclosed whether a weapon was recovered at the scene or if shots were fired.
Washington Street is a residential and commercial corridor in Dubuque, and incidents involving firearms in the area typically prompt a swift response from local law enforcement due to community safety concerns.
Estes remains in custody as of the latest available information. Bond amounts and a court appearance schedule have not been publicly detailed in the initial arrest report. Under Iowa law, a conviction for felon in possession of a firearm carries significant penalties, often including prison time, while intimidation with a dangerous weapon is treated seriously when it involves placing another person in fear of injury.
Further updates will be provided as more details become available from the Dubuque Police Department or the courts.
