Christopher George, 32, was sentenced Oct. 15 after being found guilty on charges tied to fentanyl trafficking conspiracy in a case handled by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Kentucky.
A Lexington man was sentenced on Oct. 15 in federal court in connection with a conspiracy to distribute fentanyl products, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Kentucky, as reported by WKYT.
WKYT reported that the defendant, identified as Christopher George, 32, was found guilty of charges related to fentanyl trafficking before the sentence was imposed.
The sentence was 10 years total, including six years in prison and four years of probation, WKYT said, citing the federal prosecution.
The case was handled by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Kentucky, federal prosecutors said, as described in the report.
As part of the federal process, the conviction followed a period in which the defendant was held accountable through criminal charges connected to fentanyl distribution, and the Oct. 15 sentence reflects the outcome reached in court.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office did not indicate additional terms or specific conduct details in the WKYT report, and further information would be contained in the federal charging documents and the judgment entered in the case.
