Paducah, KY – In a gritty blow to the methamphetamine trade in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, Stephen Antwain Taylor, 31, was handed down a five-year federal prison sentence for possession with intent to distribute more than 50 grams of the deadly drug.
The announcement came from U.S. Attorney Michael A. Bennett, Special Agent in Charge Ronald Yeatts of the U.S. Army’s Central Investigations Division at Fort Campbell, and Christian County Sheriff Tyler DeArmond.
According to court documents, Taylor’s sentence includes a mandatory three years of supervised release after his prison term, with no chance for parole in the federal system.
The investigation leading to Taylor’s conviction was conducted by the U.S. Army’s Central Investigations Division at Fort Campbell and the Christian County Sheriff’s Office, bolstered by support from the DEA Paducah Post of Duty.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Leigh Ann Dycus prosecuted the case on behalf of the United States.
This sentence serves as a stark reminder of the federal government’s commitment to combating drug trafficking and protecting communities from the dangers of methamphetamine.
