Jago Clay Sentenced to 108 Months in Prison for Armed Fentanyl Trafficking

A Lexington man, Jago Clay, 24, was sentenced to 108 months on Friday by U.S. District Judge Karen Caldwell for possession with intent to distribute fentanyl and possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking.

According to his plea agreement, on June 17, 2022, law enforcement conducted a traffic stop of Clay’s vehicle due to an upside-down license plate affixed to the wrong vehicle.  During the stop, officers found a large bag containing approximately 256 pressed fentanyl pills, a digital scale, and two loaded handguns.

Clay admitted to knowingly possessing the fentanyl pills, with the intent to distribute them, and to possessing the firearms in furtherance of his drug trafficking.

Under federal law, Clay must serve 85 per cent of his prison sentence. Upon his release from prison, he will be under the supervision of the U.S. Probation Office for five years.

Carlton S. Shier, IV, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky; Shawn Morrow, Special Agent in Charge, ATF, Louisville Field Division; Col. Phillip J. Burnett, Jr., Commissioner of the Kentucky State Police; and Chief Lawrence Weathers, Lexington Police Department, jointly announced the sentence.
