A man who conspired to distribute crack and powder cocaine from 1997 through 2006 was sentenced September 20, 2011, to 30 years in federal prison.

Milo Davis, 35, from Cedar Rapids, received the prison term after a May 26, 2011, jury verdict finding him guilty of one count of conspiracy to distribute crack and powder cocaine and one count of money laundering.

The evidence at trial showed that between 1997 and 2006 Davis, formerly the owner of Headquarterz Barbershop in Cedar Rapids, agreed with others to distribute crack and powder cocaine. Davis was convicted of agreeing to distribute 50 grams or more of crack cocaine and 500 grams or more of powder cocaine. Davis was also convicted of concealing earnings from his drug trafficking by putting money into others’ bank accounts and using the money to purchase a car in another’s name.

Davis was sentenced in Cedar Rapids by United States District Court Chief Judge Linda R. Reade. Davis was sentenced to 360 months’ imprisonment. A special assessment of $200 was imposed. He must also serve a 10-year term of supervised release after the prison term. There is no parole in the federal system.

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

The case was prosecuted by Special Assistant United States Attorneys Tony Morfitt and Dan Chatham and investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration.
