Davenport Woman Sentenced for Conspiracy to Distribute Methamphetamine

Audra Sue Rowson, a 43-year-old resident of Davenport, Iowa, has been sentenced to 50 months in prison for Conspiracy to Distribute Methamphetamine, announced United States Attorney Kevin E. VanderSchel.

On December 14, 2016, Chief United States District Court Judge John A. Jarvey handed down the sentence, which also includes three years of supervised release following Rowson’s prison term and a payment of $100 to the Crime Victims’ Fund.

According to the plea agreement, Rowson conspired to distribute methamphetamine in the Davenport, Iowa, area from around January 2014 and continuing until around March 2016. During this time, Rowson sold approximately 11.5 grams of methamphetamine to a confidential informant during the course of three controlled transactions.

Law enforcement also executed a search warrant at Rowson’s Davenport residence, where they located methamphetamine residue, drug ledgers, drug paraphernalia, and items consistent with the distribution of methamphetamine.

This matter was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Scott County Sheriff’s Department, the Bettendorf Police Department, and the Quad City Metropolitan Enforcement Group.

The case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa.
