Marvelous Davis, Armed Fentanyl Trafficking, Kentucky 2024

A Georgetown, Ky., man has been sentenced to 93 months in prison for his role in armed fentanyl trafficking.

Marvelous Davis, 26, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Karen Caldwell on November 12, 2024, for possession with intent to distribute fentanyl and possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking.

According to his plea agreement, authorities performed a traffic stop on a vehicle in which Davis was a passenger on November 12, 2024. During the search of the vehicle, law enforcement located an unserialized firearm, also known as a ‘ghost gun,’ under Davis’ seat.

The search also yielded 39.7 grams of pressed pills containing fentanyl. Davis admitted to possessing the drugs with intent to distribute to others and that he possessed the firearm in furtherance of his drug trafficking activity.

Under federal law, Davis 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 FBI, KSP, Lexington Police Department, and Georgetown Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Mary Melton is prosecuting the case on behalf of the United States.

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.
