LONDON, Ky. (WMDJ) — A Floyd County woman has been indicted on federal drug trafficking charges stemming from an investigation in Pike County.
A federal grand jury in London indicted Gretchen L. Bevins, 46, of David, on charges of distributing methamphetamine and possessing methamphetamine and fentanyl with the intent to distribute.
According to court records, Bevins was arrested April 1 after officers with the Pikeville Police Department executed a search warrant at a room she was occupying at the Comfort Inn in Pikeville.
Police reported finding suspected fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine and various pills during the search. Officers also allegedly recovered cash, packaging materials and substances commonly used to dilute illegal drugs.
The indictment alleges Bevins possessed more than 50 grams of a methamphetamine mixture and more than 40 grams of fentanyl.
If convicted, Bevins faces up to 30 years in prison on the distribution charge. The possession charge carries a potential sentence ranging from 10 years to life in prison because of a prior felony drug conviction.
Court records show Bevins was sentenced in federal court in 2019 to 45 months in prison and five years of supervised release for a methamphetamine conspiracy conviction.
