Louisville, KY - Two Louisville men were sentenced on July 9, 2025, to 10 years in federal prison for trafficking in methamphetamine, metonitazene, and fentanyl.

U.S. Attorney Kyle G. Bumgarner of the Western District of Kentucky, Special Agent in Charge Rana Saoud of the Homeland Security Investigations Nashville, and Chief Paul Humphrey of the Louisville Metro Police Department made the announcement.

According to court documents, Bruce A. Mills, 34, and Frank H. Brown, 35, were both sentenced to 10 years in prison, followed by 5 years of supervised release. Both defendants were also fined $3,000. Mills and Brown conspired together between January 8, 2024, and May 9, 2024, to distribute 775.642 grams of crystal methamphetamine, 14.356 grams of metonitazene, and 34.84 grams of fentanyl. The execution of multiple search warrants by HSI and LMPD on May 9, 2024, October 21, 2024, and October 24, 2024, resulted in the seizure of methamphetamine, metonitazene, fentanyl, six firearms, multiple vehicles, and drug proceeds, including approximately $40,000 and jewelry.

There is no parole in the federal system.

This case was investigated by the HSI and LMPD.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Mac Shannon prosecuted the case.

This conviction is a part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime. Operation Take Back America streamlines efforts and resources from the Department's Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETFs) and Project Safe Neighborhood (PSN).
