A Covington resident, Lamar Crawley, 42, has been sentenced to five years in federal prison for distributing methamphetamine. The sentence was handed down by Chief U.S. District Judge David Bunning.
Law enforcement officials identified Crawley as a supplier of both methamphetamine and cocaine. In the spring of 2025, authorities used a confidential informant to conduct three controlled purchases from Crawley. During these transactions, he distributed nearly two grams of cocaine and over 20 grams of methamphetamine.
Crawley will be required to serve at least 85 percent of his sentence under federal law. After completing his prison term, he will remain under supervision by the U.S. Probation Office for five years.
The sentencing was announced by Paul C. McCaffrey, First Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky, and Olivia Olson, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Louisville Field Office.
The FBI led the investigation into Crawley's activities. Assistant U.S. Attorney Tony Bracke prosecuted the case.
