Investigators uncovered around 5-pounds of meth from a Letcher County man who was arrested on federal drug charges.

 

43-year-old Larry Bentley, of McRoberts, was arrested this past Friday.

 

According to court records, investigators used an undercover source to purchase around a pound of meth from Bentley on two separate occasions. Upon execution of a search warrant at his home, police discovered a large quantity of meth, which Bentley indicated was around 3-pounds.

 

Bentley has been charged with conspiracy to distribute meth, distribution of meth, and possession of meth with the intent to distribute. He is currently being held in the Pike County Detention center.
