Corey Kaiser Sentenced to 10 Years in Federal Prison for Methamphetamine Trafficking and Firearm Offenses
Bowling Green, KY – In a shocking turn of events, 27-year-old Corey Kaiser, a resident of Franklin, Kentucky, was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine and the illegal possession of firearms by a convicted felon.
According to court documents, Kaiser knowingly and intentionally possessed with the intent to distribute 193.2 grams of methamphetamine on October 13, 2021, in Simpson County, KY. On the same day, Kaiser also knowingly possessed three handguns. Kaiser was prohibited from possessing a firearm because he had previously been convicted of a felony offense.
Kaiser’s troubles began on January 23, 2020, when he was convicted of possession of a schedule II-controlled substance to sell, methamphetamine, greater than .5 grams in Sumner Circuit Court, Tennessee.
The case was investigated by the ATF Bowling Green Field Office and the Franklin Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark J. Yurchisin II, of the U.S. Attorney’s Bowling Green Branch Office, prosecuted the case.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
Kaiser’s sentence marks a significant blow to the methamphetamine trafficking ring that has plagued the region. The 10-year prison sentence is a stark reminder of the consequences of engaging in such illicit activities.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Kentucky, along with the ATF Louisville Field Division and the Franklin Police Department, commend the efforts of the investigators and prosecutors who brought this case to justice.
