LONDON, Ky. (WMDJ) — A Louisville man accused of bringing large amounts of methamphetamine into Pike County has been indicted in federal court.

Andrew Billingslea, 33, is charged with possession of more than 500 grams of meth with intent to distribute.

According to court records, Billingslea was arrested on Nov. 16 after Pikeville Police received information that he would be transporting meth into the area. Officers began patrolling U.S. 23 and later spotted Billingslea driving into Pike County, followed by a second vehicle.

When Billingslea stopped for fuel, officers arrested him along with the driver of the second vehicle, Jonathan Jones, 35, also of Louisville. Investigators say a total of just over three pounds of methamphetamine was found between the two vehicles.

If convicted on the federal charge, Billingslea faces a possible sentence of 10 years to life in prison.

Jones continues to face meth trafficking and persistent felony offender charges in Pike Circuit Court.
