A Davenport man, Terrance Lamont Mason, has been sentenced to 114 months in federal prison for conspiracy and possession with intent to distribute cocaine while on federal supervised release. According to court documents, Mason, 49, conspired with others to transport cocaine from Rockford, Illinois to Iowa for distribution.
Law enforcement intercepted Mason as he returned to Iowa and stopped a trailing vehicle where they found more than a quarter pound of cocaine inside a black stocking cap. Surveillance footage showed Mason receiving the cap at a Rockford gas station before placing it in the trail car.
Mason was under federal supervised release at the time of these offenses, having been released from prison in February 2023 after serving a 108-month sentence for firearm-related charges. Due to his violation of supervised release terms, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa added an additional two-year term to his sentence, resulting in a total of 114 months.
Following his imprisonment, Mason will serve four years of supervised release as there is no parole in the federal system.
In a related case from July 2024, Dedrick Montez Jones, another co-conspirator from Davenport, was sentenced to 162 months for selling cocaine while also on federal supervised release.
United States Attorney Richard D. Westphal announced the sentencing. The case was investigated by several agencies including the Bettendorf Police Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and Quad City Metropolitan Enforcement Group.
