LOUISA, Ky. — A search of a Lawrence County woman’s home resulted in the discovery of a large amount of heroin and fentanyl.
Rita Faye Napier, 66, of Louisa, now faces charges of aggravated trafficking in heroin and fentanyl, as well as possession of drug paraphernalia. During a raid of her home early Friday morning, Louisa Police Department seized more than 100 grams of heroin and 22 grams of fentanyl, along with several sets of digital scales and multiple plastic bags.
Because of the amounts involved, each of the trafficking charges carries a potential sentence of 10-to-20 years in prison. She would also be required to serve at least half of her sentence for heroin and 85 percent of her sentence for fentanyl before becoming eligible for parole, if she is convicted.
