SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — A 46-year-old Carroll man has been sentenced to 60 years in prison for the death of a man during a break-in at the victim’s home.
Gary Dains Jr. was sentenced Monday in Woodbury County. He was convicted in March of voluntary manslaughter and three other charges for the killing of 65-year-old Paul Smith in Sioux City in July 2019.
Prosecutors say Smith caught Dains breaking into his home for the second time in eight days.
Dains killed Smith in a struggle, then took $120 and Smith’s vehicle, which he later gave away.
