LONDON, Ky. (WMDJ) — A Perry County man has been sentenced to nearly 20 years in federal prison for his role in a cocaine trafficking conspiracy.

Franklin Delano Campbell, 67, was sentenced Wednesday to 236 months in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to distribute powder cocaine and crack cocaine.

Federal prosecutors say Campbell regularly obtained half-kilogram to one-kilogram quantities of cocaine from an out-of-state supplier between January 2022 and November 2025. Investigators said he converted much of the cocaine into crack and distributed the drugs throughout the Perry County area, with many sales taking place from his home in Bonnyman.

Authorities said Campbell also paid others with drugs or money to travel to Ohio to pick up cocaine and return it to Kentucky.

As part of his plea agreement, Campbell forfeited several properties, two vehicles, multiple firearms and approximately $119,684 in cash.

Campbell must serve at least 85 percent of his sentence and will face five years of supervised release afterward.
