KC Man Sentenced to 14 Years for Heroin Trafficking

A 73-year old man from Kansas City, MO was recently sentenced in federal court for his role in a conspiracy to distribute heroin.

The U.S. Attorney's Office says Michael R. Davis, also known as “OG Mike,” was sentenced to 14 years and two months in federal prison without parole.

On May 4, 2018, Davis reportedly pleaded guilty to participating in a conspiracy to distribute heroin from October 2012 to September 2016. The drug quantity attributable to Davis is at least one kilogram but less than three kilograms of heroin. It was noted that the street value of heroin during this time was approximately $100 - $200 per gram.

Authorities say Davis was seated in the driver’s seat of a vehicle parked in front of a residence in Kansas City on November 5, 2015, when police conducted a car check. Co-defendant, 68-year old Barbara A. Chinneth, of Kansas City, MO, was standing at the driver’s side door of the vehicle. She was reportedly in possession of 32 baggies of heroin – four baggies in her front right small jeans pocket and 28 baggies in her mouth – that weighed a total of 16.01 grams.

Inside the vehicle, officers found three baggies that contained a total of 1.71 grams of heroin and a white plastic bag that contained $1,146. Both Davis and Chinneth were arrested.

Davis has 14 prior criminal convictions, including two federal drug trafficking convictions and a bank robbery in which the bank president was shot in the arm and another individual was fatally shot in the head.

Davis is the final defendant among five who pleaded guilty and have been sentenced in this case. Chinneth was sentenced to nine years in federal prison without parole.

65-year old Sidney A. Williams, of Kansas City, MO, was sentenced to 15 years and eight months in federal prison without parole (followed by a lifetime of supervised release).
