LONDON, Ky., — A London man was sentenced to a lengthy prison term for his role in a methamphetamine trafficking ring and firearms offenses.
Bobby Green, 42, was sentenced to 248 months in prison by United States District Court Judge Gregory F. Van Tatenhove for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, four counts of possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine, possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking offense, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Green had previously pled guilty to the drug offenses but went to trial on the firearms charges. Following a 2-day trial, a federal jury sitting in London found Green guilty of the firearms offenses in August of 2018.

The Attorney General reinvigorated PSN in 2017, as part of the Department’s renewed focus on targeting violent criminals, directing all U.S. Attorney’s Offices to work in partnership with federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement and the local community to develop effective, local strategies to reduce violent crime.
