A Davenport man, Kyle Ogden Antle, 23, has been sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for his involvement in a methamphetamine distribution conspiracy and firearm-related charges. This sentence follows Antle's activities with co-conspirators Rosston Tate, 40, and Jason Douglas Ringold, 26, both residents of Davenport.
Court documents reveal that on February 6, 2024, Antle was apprehended by the Davenport Police Department for state probation violations. During his arrest attempt, he fled and discarded a backpack containing over 50 grams of methamphetamine, packaging materials, a digital scale, and ammunition. Additionally, Antle dropped a loaded pistol while fleeing.
Despite being held at Scott County jail awaiting trial, Antle continued his involvement in the drug conspiracy. He made phone calls to collect drug debts and instructed others to do so on his behalf. He also facilitated connections between individuals and his supplier, Tate.
Upon completing his prison term, Antle will undergo five years of supervised release. The federal system does not offer parole options.
Tate received a similar sentence of 20 years imprisonment in December 2024 followed by supervised release. Ringold's sentencing is scheduled for April 15, 2025. Sentences are determined by a federal district court judge who considers U.S. sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors.
United States Attorney Richard D. Westphal from the Southern District of Iowa announced this case outcome. The investigation involved the Davenport Police Department, Iowa Department of Public Safety—Division of Narcotics Enforcement, and Rock Island Police Department.
