A Princeton man was formally sentenced last week to 24 years in federal prison for multiple felonies, including three counts of distribution of methamphetamine and one count of possession with intent to distribute meth.
According to court documents from the U.S. Federal Court Western District of Kentucky and evidence presented at trial in October of 2024, 44-year-old Micah Gray sold quantities of methamphetamine on three occasions over a two-day span from August 26 to 27, 2021. Furthermore, on August 27, 2021, investigators reportedly searched Gray’s apartment and discovered approximately one and a half pounds of methamphetamine, along with items related to its distribution.
There is no parole in the federal system.
The case was investigated by the DEA Paducah Post of Duty Office, the Pennyrile Narcotics Task Force, and the Princeton Police Department, with support from the Kentucky State Police and the Commonwealth Attorney’s Office for the 56th Judicial Circuit.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Seth A. Hancock, Chief of the U.S. Attorney’s Paducah Branch Office, prosecuted the case with the support of paralegal Cristy Crockett.
