COVINGTON, KY – Bryant Adams, 43, of Cincinnati is headed to federal prison for ten years after pleading guilty to running meth in Northern Kentucky. Chief U.S. District Judge David Bunning slapped Adams with a 120-month sentence Thursday.
The bust went down after a confidential informant snagged 55.9 grams of the drug from Adams on August 28th. He agreed to another deal a week later, and that’s when the feds moved in, catching Adams with another 80.2 grams.
Adams confessed to moving roughly a pound of methamphetamine every week for the six months before his arrest. That’s a serious volume, even for a hardened dealer. Under federal guidelines, Adams will serve 85% of his sentence before being released to five years of supervised probation.
The DEA and the Northern Kentucky Drug Strike Force teamed up on the investigation. First Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul McCaffrey announced the sentencing, along with DEA Special Agent in Charge Jim Scott and Northern Kentucky Drug Strike Force Director Scott Hardcorn.
