Sarah Morris, a 33-year-old woman from Louisville, was sentenced on April 9 to 80 months in prison by U.S. District Judge Robert Wier for her role in a conspiracy to distribute more than 500 grams of methamphetamine.
The case highlights ongoing efforts by federal authorities to combat drug trafficking in Kentucky. According to court documents, Morris obtained large quantities of methamphetamine from suppliers between December 2023 and January 2025 and supplied multiple customers, including those known to be distributing drugs in the Eastern District of Kentucky.
Morris’s plea agreement states that she both delivered drugs herself and received traffickers who traveled from Eastern Kentucky to Louisville. On January 22, 2025, she traveled with three pounds of methamphetamine for delivery. Law enforcement approached a building where Morris and others were present; during the encounter, an individual threw about two pounds of the drug into a fire as officers arrived.
Federal law requires Morris to serve at least 85 percent of her sentence before becoming eligible for release. After completing her prison term, she will be supervised by the U.S. Probation Office for five years.
The sentencing was announced jointly by Jason Parman, First Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky, and John Nokes, Special Agent in Charge at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Louisville Field Division. The ATF conducted the investigation with Assistant U.S. Attorney Drew Trimble prosecuting.
