A man from Los Angeles, California, has been sentenced to 5 years and 10 months in federal prison for his involvement in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and money laundering. The sentencing was announced by U.S. Attorney Michael A. Bennett of the Western District of Kentucky along with several law enforcement officials.
The individual, Teyrin Johnson, aged 30, will also face five years of supervised release following his prison term. Court documents reveal that Johnson was implicated in a multi-agency investigation for distributing methamphetamine in Louisville, Kentucky between June 16, 2020, and March 4, 2021. Additionally, he was found laundering drug proceeds on August 10, 2020, when authorities stopped him at the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport with $80,160 in cash.
The investigation involved multiple agencies including the DEA Louisville Field Division and the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigations Division among others. This case is part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) operation aimed at dismantling high-level criminal organizations through a coordinated approach.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Bonar led the prosecution of this case.
