DAVENPORT, IA- On March 17, 2017, Corey Anthony Jones, 28, of Davenport, Iowa, was sentenced by Chief United States District Court Judge John A. Jarvey to 188 months in prison for possession with the intent to distribute 28 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing cocaine base, announced United States Attorney Kevin E. VanderSchel. Jones was ordered to serve a four-year term of supervised release following his imprisonment and to pay $100 towards the Crime Victims’ Fund.
Between May 2, 2016, and May 9, 2016, Jones distributed crack cocaine on three separate occasions. On May 9, 2016, law enforcement officers found and seized approximately 66 grams of crack cocaine from a vehicle driven by Jones. That same day, officers obtained a search warrant for Jones’ Davenport residence and seized approximately 38 grams of powder cocaine and items consistent with the manufacture of crack cocaine. On October 19, 2016, Jones pleaded guilty and admitted he knowingly possessed the crack cocaine found on May 9, 2016, in the vehicle and intended to distribute some or all of the crack cocaine to others.
This matter was investigated by the Davenport Police Department’s Tactical Operations Bureau, the Davenport Police Department, and the Iowa Division of Narcotics Enforcement. The case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa.
