Timothy D. Luckett, also known as “Fetty” and “Jack Boi,” was sentenced on Mar. 16 to 14 years in prison for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and fentanyl, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of West Virginia.

The sentencing highlights ongoing efforts by law enforcement agencies to address drug trafficking crimes involving dangerous substances such as methamphetamine and fentanyl.

Court documents show that on May 21, 2025, officers executed a search warrant at a Rotary Road residence in Huntington where they found Luckett. Officers discovered approximately 454 grams of methamphetamine and about 52.5 grams of fentanyl distributed between two digital scales and a backpack. They also recovered three loaded firearms, ammunition, $7,278 in cash from the residence, and $380 from Luckett himself. Luckett admitted he used the residence for storing and distributing controlled substances and that the seized money came from selling methamphetamine.

Luckett further admitted that on November 8, 2023, he sold approximately 7.6 grams of fentanyl to a confidential informant in Huntington for $800.

United States Attorney Moore Capito said he commended the investigative work of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the Cabell County Sheriff’s Office. United States District Judge Robert C. Chambers imposed the sentence. Assistant United States Attorneys Joseph F. Adams and Courtney L. Finney prosecuted the case.
