A Davenport man has been sentenced to federal prison for his role in a marijuana conspiracy.
Cory Lamar Carter, 33, of Davenport, Iowa, was sentenced to five years in prison for Conspiracy to Distribute Marijuana. Carter was also ordered to serve four years of supervised release after his prison term.
The sentencing occurred on Thursday, May 27, 2021, before United States District Court Chief Judge John A. Jarvey.
According to court documents, Carter was involved in multiple instances of marijuana trafficking between the summer of 2018 and the fall of 2019. During this time, the United States Postal Inspector intercepted multiple packages destined for Carter’s residence, which contained pounds of marijuana.
This is not the first time Carter has been convicted of a federal crime. He has a prior federal conviction for Conspiracy to Distribute and Possess with Intent to Distribute Marijuana.
Carter pleaded guilty to the charge on January 28, 2021.
The investigation into Carter’s activities was a collaborative effort involving the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Davenport Police Department, and the United States Postal Inspector. The case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa.
Acting United States Attorney Richard D. Westphal made the announcement regarding Carter’s sentencing.
