HUNTINGTON, W.VA.- Yesterday, a 42-year-old Detroit, Michigan, man, learned he could be facing up to life in federal prison when sentenced later this year after pleading guilty in Federal Court in Huntington, West Virginia, to a federal narcotics violation.
According to Acting U.S. Attorney Lisa G. Johnston, on Tuesday, August 19, 2025, Timothy D. Luckett, also known as “Fetty” and “Jack Boi,” 42, of Detroit, Michigan, appeared in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia and pleaded guilty before U.S. District Court Judge Robert C. Chambers to a criminal information charging Possession with Intent to Distribute 50 Grams or More of a Controlled Substance, Methamphetamine, and a Quantity of Fentanyl.
Luckett Faces Up To Life In Prison When Sentenced In December
After entering his guilty plea, Judge Chambers accepted the plea and scheduled sentencing for December 8, 2025. At that time, Luckett faces a mandatory minimum of 10 years and up to life in federal prison, at least five years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $10 million. At sentencing, a U.S. District Court Judge will determine the term of imprisonment based on the seriousness of the offense and Luckett’s prior criminal history.
According To Court Documents
According to charging documents filed with the District Court, on May 21, 2025, during an ongoing narcotics investigation, local and federal law enforcement Investigators executed a court-authorized search warrant at a residence located on Rotary Road in Huntington, West Virginia.
During the search, Investigators encountered Luckett inside the residence. On a kitchen counter of the home, Investigators found around 454 grams of methamphetamine on a digital scale, around 2.5 grams of fentanyl on a second digital scale, and just around 50 grams of fentanyl in a backpack. Under a dresser, Investigators discovered a Ruger .45-caliber handgun, a loaded Sig Sauer .22-caliber pistol, a second loaded .22-caliber pistol, and ammunition. Investigators also found $7,278 in U.S. currency in the residence and $380 in cash in Luckett’s pockets.
During his plea allocution on Tuesday, Luckett admitted to the Court that he used the home to store and conduct the distribution of controlled substances, and the cash that was found and seized was proceeds from his distribution of illicit narcotics, including methamphetamine and fentanyl.
Luckett further admitted to selling around 7.6 grams of fentanyl to a confidential informant on November 8, 2023, in Huntington, West Virginia, in exchange for $800.
