LONDON, Ky. (WMDJ) — A Floyd County man arrested earlier this year following a major drug raid in Martin has been sentenced to 15 years in federal prison.
David Lee Ousley was sentenced Monday, November 9, in U.S. District Court in London after pleading guilty to possession with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of a methamphetamine mixture and possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking.
Ousley was originally arrested January 15 after Kentucky State Police executed a search warrant at a residence on Sunny Road in Martin.
During the search, investigators reported seizing nearly three-quarters of a pound of methamphetamine, approximately seven pounds of marijuana, several types of prescription pills, 21 long guns, 10 handguns and about $5,400 in cash.
The case later moved to federal court, where Ousley was indicted on three charges, including conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine.
According to the November 9 judgment, U.S. District Judge Robert Wier sentenced Ousley to 10 years on the drug charge and an additional five years on the firearm charge, with the sentences to run consecutively.
The original conspiracy charge was dismissed.
Ousley will also serve four years of supervised release following his prison sentence.
The court recommended that Ousley have access to drug treatment and educational programs while incarcerated.
WMDJ previously reported on Ousley's original arrest in January. That story can be found here.
