A Lexington man has been sentenced to 72 months in prison for his role in a fentanyl trafficking operation in Lexington, Kentucky.
Ivan J. Satterfield, 30, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Gregory Van Tatenhove on Wednesday for five counts of possession of firearms by a prohibited person, two counts of distribution of fentanyl, and one count of distribution of fluorofentanyl.
According to court documents, Satterfield was prohibited from possessing a firearm due to prior felony convictions for receiving stolen property under $10,000 from Fayette Circuit Court in July 2016 and for theft by unlawful taking under $10,000 from Nelson Circuit Court in November 2013.
Between April 14 and October 31, 2022, law enforcement utilized confidential informants to make multiple firearm and controlled substance purchases from Satterfield, which included purchases of fentanyl, cocaine, and fluorofentanyl, as well as the purchase of six firearms.
Under federal law, Satterfield must serve 85 percent of his prison sentence. Upon his release from prison, he will be under the supervision of the U.S. Probation Office for three years.
The investigation was conducted by the ATF and KSP. Assistant U.S. Attorney Paco Villalobos is prosecuting the case on behalf of the United States.
