Iowa Man Sentenced to 161 Months for Cocaine Base Conspiracy
Davenport, IA – In a major blow to the city’s fight against narcotics, 26-year-old Keevin J. Hanes has been sentenced to 161 months in prison for his role in a cocaine base conspiracy.
According to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa, Hanes was found guilty of conspiring with others to distribute cocaine base in the Davenport area, starting in September 2011 and continuing until December 26, 2012.
As part of the investigation, law enforcement officers conducted two searches of Hanes’ Davenport residence, seizing cocaine base, cocaine, a digital scale, packaging material, drug paraphernalia, and a significant amount of U.S. currency.
The case was investigated by the Davenport Police Department, the United States Drug Enforcement Administration, the Muscatine County Drug Task Force, and the Iowa Department of Public Safety-Division of Narcotics Enforcement.
United States Attorney Nicholas A. Klinefeldt emphasized the severity of the crime and the importance of holding individuals accountable for their actions. Hanes was also ordered to serve five years of supervised release following his imprisonment and to pay $100 towards the Crime Victims Fund.
The sentence handed down to Hanes is a testament to the tireless efforts of law enforcement agencies in Iowa to combat the scourge of narcotics in the state. As the investigation revealed, Hanes’ actions had a significant impact on the community, and his punishment will serve as a deterrent to others who would engage in similar activity.
The United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa vows to continue its efforts to protect the citizens of Iowa from the dangers of narcotics and to bring those responsible to justice.
