A man has been sentenced to seven years and six months in federal prison for a weapons charge related to an incident in which Dubuque police said he held a driver at gunpoint. 23 year old Kayne Donath of East Dubuque was given the sentence after pleading guilty to a charge of possession of a firearm by a felon. Donath was ordered to serve three years of supervised release following his 90-month prison term. Dubuque police pulled over a vehicle for traffic and equipment violations on June 2nd. 24 year old Jade Harris of Hanover, Illinois was driving with Donath as a front-seat passenger. Officers informed Donath that he had an arrest warrant charging being a person ineligible to carry a dangerous weapon. A report says Donath then reached over and began to pull down on the gear selector of the vehicle and the vehicle drove away at a high rate of speed. The pursuit ended when Harris stopped in the area of East 16th and Washington streets and Donath fled on foot. He was arrested soon after.
