DAVENPORT, IA – Five Burlington, Iowa men were sentenced to decades in prison for
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:
• 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;
• Gregory Jermain Johnson, age 36, was sentenced to approximately 14 years
(169 months) of imprisonment and five years of supervised release;
• Brian Keith Davis, Jr., age 42, was sentenced to 10 1/2 years of imprisonment and
five years of supervised release;
According to court documents, Gregory Johnson, Allen, and Marcus Johnson, age 46 of
Burlington, were the “middlemen” who received large quantities of ice methamphetamine in
Burlington from Kendric Centrall Childs, age 35 of Burlington, who served as the main drug
source, along with another individual. 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. Court documents further show that Julie Mason,
age 54 of Burlington, was one of the drug couriers 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. This traffic stop was the Arizona Department of Public Safety’s largest single seizure
of ice methamphetamine at the time.1
Mason, Childs, and Marcus Johnson have all pled guilty to drug conspiracy charges and
are scheduled to be sentenced on a later date. Mason was previously found guilty of Possession
of Drugs for Sale and Transport Drugs for Sale following a jury trial in Arizona and was sentenced
to 12 years imprisonment in the Arizona Department of Corrections.
U.S. Attorney Richard D. Westphal of the Southern District of Iowa made the
announcement. The Southeast Iowa Narcotics Task Force investigated the case

Thursday at 5 pm the Lee County Sheriff’s office was alerted to a two vehicle collision at the intersection of Highway 61 and 280^th Street. Jack Kratzer of Montrose was driving a pickup and failed to obey the yield sign as he crossed the intersection. The pickup pulled out in front of another pickup driven by Lonnie Kinkeade of Keokuk. Kinkeade and a passenger in his truck were taken to the hospital for treatment of injuries. Kratzer was cited for failure to obey a stop sign and yield the right of way.
