Rana Released From Iowa Jail

By Walter F. Roche Jr.

A one time executive of US Nitrogen has been released from an Iowa jail after being found in contempt for failing to comply with the provisions of a divorce decree.
Shawn Rona was released from the Des Moines County Correctional Center last week after serving out a 30-day sentence imposed by the judge presiding over his divorce case. District Judge Michael Schilling had imposed a 90 day sentence after finding Rana guilty of multiple counts of contempt. He suspended all but 30 days of the sentence.
Rana and his now ex-wife Leanna owned property in eastern Tennessee during the time he worked at US Nitrogen. Shawn Rana was also an executive of Austin Powder, US Nitrogen's parent.
After leaving US Nitrogen Rana became an executive of an Iowa company.
While at US Nitrogen he played a major role in the early days of the company before the $220 million Midway facility.
He was found in contempt for failure to pay thousands of dollars in child support and alimony.
