A Davenport man has been sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for his involvement in a methamphetamine distribution conspiracy and firearm charges. Kyle Ogden Antle, 23, was found guilty of distributing methamphetamine in the Quad Cities area alongside co-conspirators Rosston Tate, 40, and Jason Douglas Ringold, 26.
Antle's arrest on February 6, 2024, by the Davenport Police Department led to the discovery of more than 50 grams of methamphetamine, packaging materials, a digital scale, and ammunition in a backpack he abandoned while fleeing. He also dropped a loaded pistol during his escape.
While awaiting trial at Scott County jail, Antle continued his involvement in the drug conspiracy by making phone calls to collect drug debts and directing others to do so on his behalf. He also connected individuals with his source of supply.
Upon completing his prison term, Antle will serve five years of supervised release. Federal sentencing guidelines do not allow for parole.
Rosston Tate received a similar sentence in December 2024. Jason Douglas Ringold's sentencing is set for April 15, 2025. The sentences are determined by a federal district court judge considering United States sentencing guidelines and statutory factors.
United States Attorney Richard D. Westphal announced the sentencing. The investigation involved multiple agencies including the Davenport Police Department and the Iowa Department of Public Safety—Division of Narcotics Enforcement.
