COVINGTON, Ky. — A Cincinnati man, Fred Carroll Randolph, 47, was sentenced to 130 months in federal prison on Tuesday, by U.S. District Judge David Bunning, after pleading guilty to possession with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine.
According to Randolph’s plea agreement, Randolph was stopped during a traffic stop where law enforcement recovered multiple bags of methamphetamine. The bags contained 81.2 grams of very pure, crystal methamphetamine. Randolph admitted that he had recently picked up three ounces of methamphetamine from a source of supply in Cincinnati, that he had distributed methamphetamine for a couple of months, and that he had distributed more than 500 grams of the drugs.
Randolph pleaded guilty to the charges in the indictment in December 2021.
Under federal law, Randolph 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.
Carlton S. Shier, IV, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky, and J. Todd Scott, Special Agent in Charge, DEA, Louisville Field Office, jointly announced the sentence.
The investigation was conducted by the DEA. The United States was represented by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Tony Bracke and Andrew Spiecvack.
