Shenandoah man has been sentenced to 15 years in a federal prison after a year-long investigation of drug trafficking in southwest Iowa.
Authorities say their investigation traced the shipment of methamphetamine from Texas into Page County in southwest Iowa. The drug was then distributed throughout southwest Iowa and eastern Nebraska. Forty-one-year-old James Jayson Davis of Shenandoah pled guilty to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine in February and he was sentenced this week.
His cousin, 31-year-old James Paul Davis, was also arrested and he pled guilty in March. In July the younger cousin was sentenced to 16 years in prison.
