PIKEVILLE, Ky. — Two people arrested in Pike County for drug trafficking have now been indicted on drug and gun charges in federal court.

Malinda Mounts, 44, and her boyfriend, Josh Allen, 26, both of Deadening Fork Road at Robinson Creek, were arrested Jan. 30. Each was charged with two counts of meth trafficking at the time.

Both are now charged with conspiracy to distribute more than 50 grams of meth, distributing meth, possession of meth with the intent to distribute, and possession of a gun while drug trafficking.

They face up to 40 years in prison for the conspiracy charge, but the gun charge could enhance that to life in prison.

Both are expected to appear in federal court Wednesday morning for arraignment.
