DAVENPORT, Iowa – Cocaine distribution has landed two Davenport residents in federal prison after a lengthy investigation by law enforcement agencies.
On January 28, 2026, Lloyd Demico Franklin, 44, and Michelle Collins, 40, were sentenced to federal prison for their roles in a conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance and distribution of a mixture and substance containing cocaine base.
According to public court documents and evidence presented at sentencing, Franklin and Collins sold cocaine base (‘crack cocaine’) in the Quad Cities area for several years.
Law enforcement conducted 20 controlled purchases from Franklin and Collins between June 2022 and December 2024, purchasing a total of more than 500 grams of crack cocaine.
Franklin was sentenced to a 25-year prison term for conspiracy to distribute crack cocaine, followed by a five-year term of supervised release.
Collins was sentenced to a three-year prison term for one count of distribution of a controlled substance, followed by a three-year term of supervised release.
There is no parole in the federal system. United States Attorney David C. Waterman of the Southern District of Iowa made the announcement.
