COVINGTON, KY – Bryant Adams, 43, of Cincinnati, is headed to federal prison for a decade after admitting he was a regular supplier of meth in Northern Kentucky. U.S. District Judge David Bunning slapped Adams with a 120-month sentence on Thursday.
The bust went down after cops used a confidential informant to buy nearly 56 grams of ice from Adams on August 28th. He tried to make another deal on September 3rd, and that’s when the feds moved in, catching him with another 80 grams. Adams later confessed to moving roughly a pound of meth every week for six months before his arrest – a steady stream of poison hitting the streets.
Federal sentencing rules mean Adams won’t see parole for at least 85% of his time. Even after he gets out, he’ll be on supervised release for five years. This wasn’t a small-time operation; the feds clearly treated Adams as a serious player in the local drug trade.
The DEA and the Northern Kentucky Drug Strike Force led the investigation, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Tony Bracke handling the prosecution.
