LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — A Louisville man has learned his sentence for distribution of methamphetamine.

Kelvin Watkins, 41, was sentenced Thursday to 13 years and four months in prison, with five years of supervised release for intent to distribute and distribution of meth, according to a release from the Department of Justice.

Since Watkins was already on supervised release when he committed the drug offenses, he was sentenced to two additional years and four months in prison for a total of 15 years and eight months. He is not eligible for parole as there is none in the federal system.

Additionally, Courtney Martin, 38, and Durelle Clayton, 35, both of Louisville, were already sentenced to 12 years and 10 years in prison respectively for intent to distribute and distribution of meth. 

The sentences were part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide DOJ initiative.
