DAVENPORT, IA - On August 15, 2014, Jose Antonio Garcia, age 44, of Davenport, Iowa, was sentenced by United States District Judge John A. Jarvey for possession with intent to distribute cocaine announced United States Attorney Nicholas A. Klinefeldt. Garcia was sentenced to 108 months imprisonment. He was also ordered to serve three years of supervised release following the imprisonment and to pay $100 towards the Crime Victims Fund.

Over the course of many years, beginning in the early 2000's and continuing until about June 17, 2013, Garcia distributed cocaine in the Davenport, Iowa, area. On June 17, 2013, law enforcement officers executed a search warrant for a residence associated with Garcia and his spouse, co-defendant Leann Perez. At that residence agents located, among other things, over one-half kilogram cocaine, digital scales, and packaging material.

This case was investigated by the Davenport, Iowa, Police Department and the Iowa Department of Narcotics Enforcement. The case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Iowa.
