Davenport, Ia- A Burlington man has been sentenced to prison for drug-related offenses.
33-year-old Allen Julain Fields Jr. of Burlington was sentenced on Thursday, November 12th to 121 months in prison for Possession with Intent to Manufacture or Distribute 50 Grams or More of Methamphetamine.
In October of 2019, law enforcement officers attempted to stop Fields’ vehicle, and Fields drove away at a high rate of speed – in excess of 50 miles per hour on city streets.
