A Burlington man has been sentenced to 151 months imprisonment for his role in a cocaine conspiracy that spanned over a year.
On May 30, 2014, Corey Damon Keys, age 29, of Burlington, Iowa, was sentenced to 151 months imprisonment by United States District Judge John A. Jarvey for conspiracy to distribute cocaine, announced United States Attorney Nicholas A. Klinefeldt.
The investigation revealed that Keys conspired with other persons to distribute cocaine in the Burlington, Iowa, area from approximately March 2012 to about April 24, 2013. During this time, co-defendant Shane Francis Culbertson sold an undercover law enforcement agent cocaine in multi-ounce quantities on multiple occasions.
Keys conspired with Culbertson for at least some of those transactions. On January 21, 2014, Judge Jarvey sentenced Culbertson to 30 months imprisonment and three years of supervised release following imprisonment for conspiracy to distribute cocaine.
Culbertson’s co-defendants, Akeem Levelle Eison and Zachary Robert Shullaw, were also sentenced to 100 months and 37 months imprisonment, respectively, for their roles in the conspiracy.
The case was investigated by the Iowa Division of Narcotics Enforcement, the United States Drug Enforcement Administration, the Burlington, Iowa, Police Department, the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Southeast Iowa Narcotics Task Force.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa prosecuted the case.
As part of his sentence, Keys was ordered to serve five years of supervised release following the imprisonment and to pay $100 towards the Crime Victims Fund.
