Davenport, IA-  Two Davenport men have been sentenced to 300 months in prison for multiple drug-related offenses.

70-year-old Donnie Spencer and 35-year-old Rafiel Lee Owens were sentenced Monday in US District Court for conspiracy to  Distribute Heroin and Crack Cocaine, Possession with Intent to Distribute Heroin and Crack Cocaine, and Felon in Possession of Ammunition.

According to court documents, Spencer and Owens were identified by law enforcement as participants in a conspiracy to distribute heroin and crack cocaine in June 2019 after a female suffered an opioid overdose at a hotel room where Owens was selling heroin.

Spencer traveled to Chicago on a weekly basis to obtain heroin and crack cocaine and transported the drugs back to the Quad Cities. Spencer then supplied Owens, who then sold the drugs on Spencer’s behalf.

Spencer also sold the drugs to his own customers. Over the course of approximately four years, Spencer was responsible for transporting and distributing approximately two kilograms of heroin and five kilograms of crack cocaine from Chicago to the Quad Cities.
