HUNTINGTON, W.VA.- A Detroit man tied to large-scale methamphetamine and fentanyl distribution in West Virginia has been sentenced to more than a decade in federal prison, following a multi-agency investigation that uncovered significant quantities of narcotics, firearms, and cash proceeds linked to drug trafficking.

     Timothy D. Luckett, 33, also known by the aliases “Fetty” and “Jack Boi,” of Detroit, Michigan, was sentenced to 168 months in federal prison, followed by five years of supervised release, after pleading guilty to possession with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine and a quantity of fentanyl, federal authorities announced.

     According to court documents and statements presented during proceedings, the case against Luckett centered on a May 21, 2025, execution of a court-authorized warrant at a residence on Rotary Road in Huntington. When law enforcement officers entered the home, they encountered Luckett and quickly identified evidence of an active drug distribution operation.

     Investigators reported that on a kitchen counter, officers discovered approximately 454 grams of methamphetamine placed on a digital scale, alongside approximately 2.5 grams of fentanyl on a second scale, an indication, authorities said, of ongoing preparation and distribution activity. A further search of the residence revealed an additional 50 grams of fentanyl stored inside a backpack, significantly increasing the total quantity of highly potent opioids seized.

     Authorities also uncovered a cache of firearms within the residence. Under a dresser, officers located a loaded Ruger .45-caliber pistol, a loaded Sig Sauer Mosquito .22-caliber pistol, and a Feather Industries .22-caliber rifle, along with accompanying ammunition. The presence of multiple loaded weapons, according to investigators, underscored the dangerous nature of the operation and the potential for violence associated with drug trafficking activities.

     Financial evidence collected at the scene further supported the prosecution’s case. Officers seized $7,278 in cash from inside the residence and an additional $380 from Luckett’s person at the time of the search. As part of his guilty plea, Luckett admitted that the residence was used to store and distribute controlled substances, and that the money recovered represented proceeds from his methamphetamine trafficking activities.

     Federal prosecutors also detailed prior criminal conduct tied to Luckett in the case. On November 8, 2023, Luckett sold approximately 7.6 grams of fentanyl to a confidential informant in Huntington in exchange for $800, demonstrating an established pattern of distribution activity in the region well before the 2025 search warrant execution.

     The investigation and subsequent prosecution were the result of coordinated efforts among multiple law enforcement agencies. United States Attorney Moore Capito announced the sentencing and formally commended the work of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the Cabell County Sheriff’s Office, all of which played key roles in building the case.

     The sentencing reflects continued federal enforcement efforts targeting the distribution of methamphetamine and fentanyl, two substances that have been central to the ongoing opioid and overdose crisis impacting communities across West Virginia and the broader Appalachian region.

     Luckett will serve his sentence in federal custody, with the supervised release period to follow upon completion of his prison term.
