Cedar Rapids, IA-  A Burlington man who distributed over 79 pounds of methamphetamine was Sentenced Monday to over 10 years in prison.

44-year-old Corey Lowrey of Burlington was given the sentence after a September 15, 2021, guilty plea to one count of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance.

Information disclosed at sentencing showed that beginning in 2018, Lowery began distributing pound quantities of methamphetamine to several individuals in the Cedar Rapids, Iowa area.

At the time, Lowery was still on federal supervised release as a result of his conviction in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa for conspiracy to distribute cocaine.

During the methamphetamine conspiracy, from 2018 to March 10, 2020, Lowery distributed at least 79 pounds of methamphetamine to the individuals from Cedar Rapids.

Lowery was sentenced in Cedar Rapids by United States District Court Judge C.J. Williams.
