Louisville Man Hit with 10-Year Min for Heroin, Fentanyl Trafficking
A federal grand jury in Louisville has returned an indictment charging a Louisville man with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute controlled substances, possession with intent to distribute heroin and fentanyl, and money laundering.
According to the indictment, Garron Board, 39, was charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute controlled substances, possession with intent to distribute heroin, possession with intent to distribute fentanyl, and laundering of monetary instruments. These offenses occurred between March 24, 2023, and April 4, 2024.
The indictment alleges that Board engaged in a conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute controlled substances, and that he possessed with intent to distribute heroin and fentanyl. Additionally, the indictment charges Board with laundering of monetary instruments.
U.S. Attorney Michael A. Bennett of the Western District of Kentucky, Special Agent in Charge Rana Saoud of the Homeland Security Investigations Nashville and Acting Special Agent in Charge Karen Wingerd of the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation, Cincinnati Field Office made the announcement.
The defendant made his initial court appearance last week before a U.S. Magistrate Judge of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky. The Court ordered the defendant detained pending trial. If convicted, Board faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years and up to life in prison. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors.
This case is being investigated by HSI and IRS-CI. Assistant U.S. Attorney Alicia P. Gomez is prosecuting the case. An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
