Rashaun Carter, a 46-year-old resident of Lynwood, Illinois, has been sentenced to 51 months in federal prison for his role in distributing heroin and cocaine near Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa.

Carter pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute heroin and cocaine within 1000 feet of Loras College on November 23, 2022.

According to court documents, Carter was involved in the distribution of heroin and cocaine out of a house located near the Loras College campus in Dubuque in 2017 and 2018.

In January 2018, Dubuque Drug Task Force Officers stopped Carter and others as they returned from Chicago with over 300 grams of cocaine that was to be sold in Dubuque.

Carter was sentenced in Cedar Rapids by United States District Court Judge C.J. Williams. He must also serve a six-year term of supervised release after the prison term. There is no parole in the federal system.

Carter is being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a federal prison.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Patrick Reinert and was investigated as part of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) program through a cooperative effort of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Dubuque Drug Task Force comprised of the Dubuque Police Department and the Dubuque County Sheriff’s Office.
