A Templeton man has been ordered to serve probation after pleading guilty in District Court to possession of a firearm by a felon, a class D felony. The sentence was filed Thursday against 59-year-old Kevin Fredrick Schumann. In the order, Schumann was required to served up to five years in the custody of the Iowa Department of Corrections and pay $750 in fines. As part of a plea agreement, the incarceration, fine and associated court costs are suspended, and he will be placed on probation for three years with the Second Judicial District Department of Correctional Services and pay a $125 law enforcement surcharge. Schumann is considered a habitual offender with at least four third-offense or more operating while intoxicated charges, class D felonies. The charge against him stemmed from an incident on July 4, 2017 where Schumann was found in possession of a .22 caliber rifle and a single round of ammunition.
