A Covington resident, Lamar Crawley, age 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.
Crawley was identified by law enforcement as a supplier of both methamphetamine and cocaine. Authorities used a confidential informant to conduct three controlled drug purchases from Crawley during April and May 2025. In these transactions, he distributed nearly two grams of cocaine and just over twenty grams of methamphetamine.
According to the terms of his plea agreement, Crawley must serve at least 85 percent of his sentence before becoming eligible for release. After completing his prison term, he will be subject to supervision by the U.S. Probation Office for five years.
Paul C. McCaffrey, First Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky, and Olivia Olson, Special Agent in Charge at the FBI’s Louisville Field Office, announced the sentencing jointly.
The case was investigated by the FBI and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Tony Bracke.
