DAVENPORT, Iowa — Henry Dinkins, who was found guilty in the kidnapping and murder of 10-year-old Breasia Terrell, was just sentenced in a federal drug trial.
According to the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Iowa, Dinkins was sentenced on Thursday to 120 months in federal prison for conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine.
The charges stem from a traffic stop in Bureau County, Illinois over five years ago on April 25, 2019. According to court documents and evidence presented at sentencing, Dinkins was a passenger in a van where police found around 5,600 ecstasy pills that he intended to redistribute in the Davenport area. The pills contained methamphetamine.
Dinkins' federal drug sentence will be served consecutively to his convictions for first-degree murder and first-degree kidnapping, according to the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Iowa. He is currently serving two consecutive life sentences for those convictions.
