Two residents of Davenport, Iowa, have been sentenced to federal prison following convictions related to cocaine distribution. Lloyd Demico Franklin, 44, and Michelle Collins, 40, were found to have sold crack cocaine in the Quad Cities region over several years.
Court records show that between June 2022 and December 2024, law enforcement carried out 20 controlled purchases from Franklin and Collins. These operations resulted in the purchase of more than 500 grams of crack cocaine.
Franklin received a sentence of 25 years in federal prison for conspiracy to distribute crack cocaine. He will also serve five years of supervised release after his incarceration. Collins was sentenced to three years in prison for one count of distribution of a controlled substance and will be subject to three years of supervised release upon completion of her sentence. There is no parole available in the federal system.
United States Attorney David C. Waterman for the Southern District of Iowa announced the sentences. The case was investigated by the FBI Quad Cities Resident Agency from the Omaha Field Office, as well as the Moline Police Department and Scott County Sheriff’s Office.
