Man sentenced to 18 years for for transporting and selling 300 fentanyl pills

Kentucky – According to Lee County Commonwealth’s Attorney H. Fuller Cridlin, Thompson conspired to transport approximately 300 pills pressed with fentanyl from Kentucky to Lee County.

Once they were transported, Thompson reportedly sold the pills for $4500. The date of this offense is listed as Jan. 27, 2023, according to court records.

“The sentence imposed by the Court today, eighteen years to serve, reflects the major harm and risks associated with the distribution of fentanyl,” Cridlin said.

“Even a very small amount of fentanyl can be deadly — not just for users, but also for the law enforcement officers who encounter it.

We must — and we will — continue to seek lengthy periods of incarceration for those responsible for bringing large quantities of fentanyl into our community.”
