A Louisville man, Charles Jermaine Gore, 40, received a 15-year federal prison sentence today for methamphetamine and fentanyl trafficking, along with illegal possession of firearms.
“Outstanding investigative work by ATF, LMPD, and KSP,” said, U.S. Attorney Bennett. “The collective focus of our federal, state, and local law enforcement partners is on the identification, apprehension, and full prosecution of those who traffic poison on our streets and illegally possess firearms. It will be 15 years before the defendant is released from federal prison and Louisville is a safer place as a result.”

“Drug dealers with guns have a terrible impact on our communities,” said ATF Special Agent in Morrow. “A fifteen-year federal prison sentence sends a clear message to repeat offenders that the law enforcement community in Kentucky is working together to keep the commonwealth safe. I commend the excellent work of ATF Louisville, LMPD, KSP, and the United States Attorney’s Office.”
Court documents revealed that Gore engaged in fentanyl and methamphetamine distribution between July 2021 and February 2022.
