U.S. Attorney Michael A. Bennett | U.S. Department of Justice
A Louisville man has been sentenced to over 11 years in federal prison for his involvement in a methamphetamine trafficking conspiracy. Dion Brown, aged 31, received an 11-year and 8-month sentence, followed by five years of supervised release. He faced charges for conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute methamphetamine and multiple counts of distribution.
The announcement was made by U.S. Attorney Michael A. Bennett from the Western District of Kentucky, along with DEA Louisville Field Division's Special Agent in Charge Jim Scott, Homeland Security Investigations Nashville's Special Agent in Charge Rana Saoud, and Chief Paul Humphreys of the Louisville Metro Police Department.
Brown is one among several defendants involved in this case who have been sentenced. Raheem Richardson, another key figure aged 32 from Louisville, was sentenced earlier on October 24, 2024, to 11 years and 4 months for similar charges alongside firearm possession as a convicted felon.
Other individuals connected to the case include Jamesha Hickman who received a sentence of three years and ten months; Demeeko Johnson who was sentenced to five years and four months; Samuel Keene and Tyrece Clark both received two years and one month each; and Hubert Brown also got two years and one month.
All sentences are followed by periods of supervised release ranging from three to five years. The offenses varied from drug distribution conspiracies to firearm possession violations due to previous felony convictions.
This case was investigated collaboratively by the DEA, HSI, Louisville Metro Police Department with additional support from the Kentucky State Police, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, and Louisville Airport Police. Assistant U.S. Attorney Alicia P. Gomez prosecuted the case aided by paralegal Adela Alic.
These efforts fall under Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), aiming at reducing violent crime through strategic law enforcement collaboration while building community trust.
There is no parole option within the federal system for these convictions.
