LONDON, Ky. Chris Michael Moberly, 33, and Caitlin Sue Maggard, 31, both from Lexington, pleaded guilty in federal court Tuesday, before U.S. District Judge Claria Horn Boom, for their roles in conspiring to distribute methamphetamine.
According to their plea agreements, between September 2019 and October 2019, Moberly and Maggard conspired with others to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine. They both admitted that, on multiple occasions, they travelled to Scott County, Tennessee, for the purpose of distributing methamphetamine to other distributors in Tennessee and Kentucky, including McCreary County. Moberly admitted to enlisting other individuals to assist with transportation to make methamphetamine deliveries. In October 2019, law enforcement disrupted a drug transaction, seizing 50 grams of methamphetamine from Moberly and Maggard.
Moberly and Maggard were indicted in January 2020.
Robert M. Duncan, Jr., United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky; Jeffrey Todd Scott, Special Agent in Charge, DEA Louisville Field Division; and Sheriff Ronnie Phillips, Scott County, Tennessee Sheriff’s Department, jointly announced the guilty pleas.
The investigation was conducted by the DEA and Scott County, Tennessee Sheriff’s Department. The United States was represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Trimble.
Moberly is scheduled to be sentenced on October 6. He faces a minimum of ten years in prison. Maggard is scheduled to be sentenced on October 9. She faces a minimum of five years in prison. However, any sentence will be imposed by the Court after its consideration of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and the federal sentencing statutes.
