In May 2023, law enforcement officers with ATF, DEA, and the Northeast Kentucky Drug Task Force received information regarding the drug distribution activities of Christopher Prince.
During the ensuing investigation, law enforcement seized approximately 250 grams of crystal methamphetamine (actual methamphetamine), 3 pounds of methamphetamine, 2.5 grams of fentanyl and two firearms.
