Davenport Man Sentenced to Prison for Firearm Charge
A Davenport man, Davante Shamod Howard, age 24, has been sentenced to 46 months in prison for Felon in Possession of a Firearm.
On Tuesday, October 18, 2022, Howard was sentenced to 46 months in prison, to be served consecutively to a 14-month sentence imposed upon the revocation of his supervised release in a previous federal firearms case.
Following his imprisonment, Howard was ordered to serve three years of supervised release. The 46-month sentence will be served consecutively to the 14-month sentence in his previous case.
In September 2021, Howard had an active federal warrant for a supervised release violation. Law enforcement located Howard at a Davenport residence.
Before his arrest, Howard used a straw purchaser to acquire an extended rifle magazine. During a search of the residence, law enforcement located the extended magazine, as well as an AR-15 and a ghost Glock firearm.
The Davenport Police Department investigated the case. United States Attorney Richard D. Westphal of the Southern District of Iowa made the announcement.
Howard pleaded guilty on April 18, 2022, to the Felon in Possession of a Firearm charge. The case highlights the importance of law enforcement agencies working together to keep communities safe from firearms-related crimes.
In light of this case, residents are reminded of the severe consequences of violating federal firearms laws.
