A federal grand jury in Bowling Green indicted three men and two women on Feb. 11, 2026, for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and cocaine, as well as other related drug trafficking offenses.

The charges were announced by U.S. Attorney Kyle G. Bumgarner of the Western District of Kentucky, Special Agent in Charge John Nokes of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Louisville Field Division, and Director Tommy Loving of the Bowling Green/Warren County Appalachia High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Drug Task Force.

According to the indictment, Davon M. Grandberry, Jarru R. Cavitt, Ashley M. Huff, O’Shay D. Everett, and Shelby D. Puckett allegedly conspired from April 1 to October 16, 2025, to possess with intent to distribute and distribute at least 500 grams each of methamphetamine mixture and cocaine. Each defendant faces additional charges connected to specific incidents during this period.

Authorities said that more than 50 pounds of methamphetamine, two kilograms of cocaine, and about $20,000 in cash were seized during the investigation across Warren, Hart, and Butler Counties. Grandberry is charged with distributing methamphetamine mixtures on multiple dates; Cavitt faces several joint charges with other defendants involving both methamphetamine and cocaine; Huff is charged jointly with Cavitt; Everett is charged jointly with Cavitt; Puckett is charged jointly with Cavitt as well.

Grandberry, Cavitt, and Huff have been arraigned before a U.S. Magistrate Judge in the Western District of Kentucky. Grandberry and Cavitt remain detained pending further proceedings while Huff was released under special conditions. Everett and Puckett are scheduled to appear before a magistrate judge at a later date.

If convicted on these charges, each defendant faces a minimum sentence of ten years in prison up to life imprisonment. Sentencing will be determined by a federal district court judge after considering sentencing guidelines and statutory factors. There is no parole in the federal system.

The case is being investigated by the ATF Bowling Green Field Office along with local task forces including assistance from the Greater Hardin County Narcotics Task Force. Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark J. Yurchisin II is prosecuting the case.

This prosecution falls under Operation Take Back America—a nationwide Department of Justice initiative aimed at combating illegal immigration and dismantling cartels as well as transnational criminal organizations.

Officials remind that an indictment is only an allegation; all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
