Former Dubuque Man Sentenced For Selling Drugs Near Park

A man has been sentenced to more than 15 years in federal prison for distributing heroin and fentanyl near a Dubuque park. 33 year old Deandre Davis, formerly of Dubuque, was given the sentence this week in U.S. District Court in Cedar Rapids after pleading guilty to charges of conspiracy to distribute heroin and fentanyl and distribution of heroin and fentanyl within 1,000 feet of a park. In addition to serving 188 months in federal prison, Davis must also serve 12 years of supervised release following his prison term. Davis admitted at his plea hearing that he engaged in a “drug-related conspiracy” to distribute heroin and fentanyl. In the fall of 2020, Davis distributed the drugs in Dubuque near Hilltop Park.
