A Shenandoah man was sentenced on Wednesday in District Court for Conspiracy to Distribute Methamphetamine. United States Attorney Nicholas Klinefeldt announced that 41-year-old James Jayson Davis of Shenandoah was sentenced by Senior United States District Court Judge James E. Gritzner to 183 months in prison. He was also ordered to serve five years of supervised release following his jail time.
Davis entered a guilty plea on February 5th of 2015 to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine from September 2013 up to July of 2014. The plea resulted from a year-long investigation into drug trafficking in Southwestern Iowa by a group that included Davis and his cousin, James Paul Davis. James Paul Davis was sentenced to 192 months in prison on July 27, 2015, by Judge Gritzner. The investigation showed that methamphetamine was being transported to Southwestern Iowa from the border region in Texas in pound quantities for distribution from Page County, across Southwestern Iowa and into Eastern Nebraska.
The investigation was conducted by the Iowa Division of Narcotics Enforcement, Page County Sheriff’s Office, Shenandoah, Iowa Police Department, Mills County Sheriff’s Office, Southwest Iowa Narcotics Task Force, Omaha, Nebraska Police Department, Metro Area Fugitive Task Force, and the United States Marshal’s Service for the Southern District of Iowa.
The case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa.

One of the heaviest rains in the Omaha/Council Bluffs area in 144 years of record-keeping flooded large parts of Council Bluffs on Wednesday but caused fewer problems in Omaha, where less rain fell. Council Bluffs Public Works Director Greg Reeder told the Omaha World-Herald residences have experience the collapse of basement walls, sewer backups and basement flooding.
As of late Wednesday evening, 5.28 inches of inches of rain had been recorded at Omaha’s Eppley Airfield, shattering the record of 1.97 inches for the date and ranking as the sixth-greatest amount of daily rain since record-keeping began in 1871, according to the National Weather Service.
The official rain total at the Council Bluffs airport was 2.39 inches, but officials said parts of the Bluffs received 6 to 8 inches of rain Wednesday morning. Much of the western and southern parts of the city had “extreme surface flooding.” In some areas, that meant water as high as the handles on cars.
Rainfall began in the pre-dawn hours, and by the morning commute, street flooding was well underway. Council Bluffs public schools, St. Albert Catholic schools and Heartland Christian School in the Bluffs closed for the day because of street flooding. Officials wanted to keep as much traffic off the streets as possible. Dozens of vehicles became stranded in the Bluffs as a result of people trying to get to work or run errands.
Fire officials said in a handful of cases Wednesday, the Council Bluffs Fire Department was called to retrieve people from their vehicles, and some families were evacuated from their homes. No injuries were reported.
