A Dubuque man faces a minimum of 20 years and up to life in federal prison after pleading guilty to federal drug charges.
44-year old Maurice Randolph recently pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine in U.S. District Court in Cedar Rapids.
Randolph admitted to dealing drugs in the Dubuque area near multiple parks and schools from 2017 to April of 2021.
Randolph told the court in February 2021, one of his co-conspirators distributed cocaine to a Dubuque woman who went home and died after using the drug.
