January 26, 2010 - Michael McCoy, 29, of Cincinnati, Ohio, was sentenced today by United States District Court Judge Danny C. Reeves to 11 years in prison for drug trafficking offenses.
McCoy was convicted in a one-day trial in October of 2009 of the charges. Evidence at trial established that in May of 2009, McCoy possessed and intended to distribute approximately eight grams of crack cocaine, 36 grams of powder cocaine, and 40 tablets containing methamphetamine.
McCoy committed the offenses shortly after being released on parole after serving approximately five years on a prior drug trafficking conviction out of Ohio.
McCoy was indicted in August of 2009.
Under federal law, McCoy will have to serve at least 85 percent of his prison sentence before being released. He will also be under the supervision of the U.S. Parole Office for 10 years following his release.
James A. Zerhusen, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky, and Timothy D. Cox, Special Agent in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation, jointly made the announcement today after McCoy was sentenced.
The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Covington Police Department. The United States was represented by Assistant United States Attorneys Anthony J. Bracke and Benjamin G. Dusing.
