A 70-year-old Georgetown woman, Mabel Francis Soto, has been sentenced to 60 months in prison for her role in a fentanyl trafficking conspiracy. Soto conspired with co-defendant Taylor Burden to sell drugs out of her residence in Georgetown, Kentucky. The conspiracy was busted on October 19, 2022, after law enforcement surveilled Soto’s residence and obtained a search warrant.
The search of Soto’s residence recovered more than 100 grams of fentanyl pills, crushed fentanyl pills, and a distribution quantity of methamphetamine. Law enforcement also found a handgun and approximately $251,100 in drug proceeds. Soto’s co-defendant, Taylor Burden, was previously sentenced to 60 months in prison for his role in the conspiracy.
Under federal law, Soto must serve 85 percent of her prison sentence. Upon her release from prison, she will be under the supervision of the U.S. Probation Office for 4 years. The investigation was conducted by the FBI and Georgetown Police Department, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Cynthia Rieker prosecuting the case.
The sentence was announced by Jason Parman, First Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky, along with Olivia Olson, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Louisville Field Office, and Chief Darin Allgood of the Georgetown Police Department.
