DAVENPORT, IA – Eight people from Burlington have now been sentenced to federal
prison for their role in conspiring to distribute drugs in the Burlington area. The conspiracy started
by at least December 1, 2019, and continued until November 2, 2021. Those sentenced as part of
this drug conspiracy include:
• Kendric Centrall Childs, age 35, was sentenced to 25 years of imprisonment and
10 years of supervised release;
• Rudolph Sinclair Allen, age 37, was sentenced to 20 years of imprisonment and
five years of supervised release;
• Clyde Macks Stewart, Jr., age 51, was sentenced to 17 years of imprisonment and
five years of supervised release;
• Demetrius Antre Goudy, age 42, was sentenced to 18 years of imprisonment and
five years of supervised release;
• Marcus Allen Johnson, age 46, was sentenced to 15 years of imprisonment and
five years of supervised release;
• Gregory Jermain Johnson, age 36, was sentenced to 14 years of imprisonment and
five years of supervised release;
• Brian Keith Davis, age 42, was sentenced to 10 1/2 years of imprisonment and five years
of supervised release; and
• Julie Jeanne Mason, age 54, was sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment and three years
of supervised release.
According to court documents, Gregory Johnson, Marcus Johnson, and Rudolph Sinclair
were the “middlemen” for the group and received large quantities of ice methamphetamine from
Kendric Childs, the main drug source, along with another individual (who has not yet been
apprehended). Gregory Johnson, Allen, and Marcus Johnson either sold quantities of ice
methamphetamine themselves or provided it to lower-level dealers such as Goudy, Stewart, and
Davis for distribution. Mason was identified as a drug courier for the group.
On January 24, 2020, Mason was stopped in Arizona while transporting approximately
362 pounds of ice methamphetamine. Mason admitted the ice methamphetamine was bound for
Burlington, Iowa. At the time, this traffic stop was the Arizona Department of Public Safety’s
largest single seizure of ice methamphetamine.1
