U.S. Attorney Michael A. Bennett | U.S. Department of Justice
A man from Bowling Green, Kentucky, has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for his involvement in a fentanyl distribution case. This marks the conclusion of legal proceedings against two individuals involved in the crime.
U.S. Attorney Michael A. Bennett of the Western District of Kentucky, along with U.S. Postal Inspector in Charge Lesley Allison of the Pittsburgh Division, Special Agent in Charge Rana Saoud of Homeland Security Investigations Nashville, and Director Tommy Loving of the Bowling Green/Warren County Appalachia High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (AHIDTA) Drug Task Force, announced the sentencing.
Court documents reveal that on December 2, 2024, Faisl Alzharani, aged 27 and a resident of Warren County, received a sentence of 10 years in prison followed by five years of supervised release. Earlier this year, on April 23, Ahmed Al-Duliami, aged 25 and also from Warren County, was sentenced to seven years in prison with an additional four years of supervised release for similar charges.
The charges stem from an incident on August 11, 2022. The defendants attempted to collect a package they believed contained fentanyl. However, law enforcement had previously seized the package and removed its contents.
The investigation was conducted by USPIS Louisville Domicile's Bowling Green Office, HSI Bowling Green, and the Bowling Green/Warren County AHIDTA Drug Task Force.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark J. Yurchisin II prosecuted the case.
There is no parole available within the federal system.
