Lexington Man Sentenced to 250 Months for Armed Fentanyl Trafficking

Lexington, Ky. – A Lexington man, Titus Mayhorn, 34, was sentenced on Wednesday to 250 months in prison by U.S. District Judge Karen Caldwell for possession with intent to distribute 40 grams or more of fentanyl and possession of firearms in furtherance of drug trafficking.

According to Mayhorn’s plea agreement, on July 11, 2021, law enforcement responded to a call of reckless driving, conducted a traffic stop, and found Mayhorn inside the vehicle with a firearm in the front passenger seat. Mayhorn was found to be impaired and arrested for a DUI. Law enforcement then conducted a search of the car and discovered 985 blue pills stamped with M 30, which were later confirmed to be fentanyl. They also discovered a bag of marijuana, cash, and three firearms.

Mayhorn pleaded guilty in May 2022. Under federal law, Mayhorn 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 five years.

The investigation was conducted by the DEA, ATF, and Versailles Police Department. The United States was represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Greenfield.

A total of four law enforcement agencies collaborated to bring Mayhorn to justice, including the DEA, ATF, Versailles Police Department, and U.S. Probation Office. This case highlights the need for continued efforts to combat the opioid epidemic and reduce gun violence in our communities.

This case is a prime example of the impact that law enforcement can have when working together to address the complex issues of fentanyl trafficking and gun violence. We will continue to prioritize these efforts and bring perpetrators to justice.
