A Missouri man was sentenced in federal court last week for his role in conspiracies to distribute fentanyl and launder drug proceeds in northwest Missouri.
Lucas Ryan Coltrain, 24, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Roseann A. Ketchmark to nine years in federal prison without the possibility of parole. The court also ordered Coltrain to forfeit $10,000, representing the proceeds he received from drug trafficking.
Coltrain pleaded guilty in February to participating in a conspiracy to distribute fentanyl from October 27, 2020, to January 24, 2023, and to participating in a conspiracy to commit money laundering.
