Jasper McCann, a 43-year-old resident of Waynesburg, Kentucky, was sentenced on April 8 to ten years in federal prison for possession with intent to distribute more than 50 grams of methamphetamine. U.S. District Judge Claria Horn Boom handed down the sentence in London, Kentucky.
The case stems from a traffic stop conducted by law enforcement on May 12, 2024. During the search of McCann's vehicle, officers found digital scales, four firearms, and approximately 206 grams of methamphetamine. According to his plea agreement, McCann admitted he intended to distribute the drugs.
Court records show that McCann had previously been convicted in January 2013 for first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance.
Federal sentencing rules require McCann to serve at least 85 percent of his sentence before becoming eligible for release. After serving his prison term, he will be supervised by the U.S. Probation Office for eight years.
The sentencing was announced jointly by Jason Parman, First Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky; John Nokes, Special Agent in Charge at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Louisville Field Division; and Chief Aaron Noel of the Mt. Sterling Police Department.
The investigation was carried out by ATF agents and officers from the Mt. Sterling Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Drew Trimble prosecuted the case.
