View Comments A Dubuque man who took his firearms conviction to the U.S. Supreme Court has lost his appeal for the second time. Police charged Kenneth Sanders with possessing a firearm while prohibited to do so after getting a report of a domestic dispute at his girlfriend's residence in 2018. As later summarized by the justices, police saw a child in a window waving to them and heard a child crying inside the home, and decided to enter despite lacking a warrant or permission from the homeowner. Inside, a child told officers of hearing shouting about a gun. Police searched and found a pistol in the couch on which Sanders was sitting.
