Two Nelson County residents potentially face life in prison for federal drug charges.
The United States District Court for Western Kentucky says a federal grand jury returned an indictment charging Neal Scott Stone and Keely Logsdon, both of Bardstown, with conspiring to possess with the intent to distribute and distributing more than 400 grams of fentanyl and 500 grams of cocaine between March and June of this year. Stone faces an additional charge for possessing with the intent to distribute and distributing more than 500 grams of cocaine and 40 grams of fentanyl in June.
Stone and Logsdon were arrested as part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force effort, a prosecutor-led multi-agency approach for identifying, disrupting, and dismantling criminal organizations. The case is being investigated by the FBI, the DEA, the Nelson County Sheriff’s Office, and the Greater Hardin County Narcotics Task Force, with assistance from the Louisville Metro Police Department, the Kentucky State Police, and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.
Both Stone and Logsdon recently made their initial court appearances. If convicted the two face a minimum sentence of ten years and a maximum sentence of life in prison. The two will remain in federal custody pending trial.
