PIKEVILLE, Ky. — A Harrodsburg man has been sentenced to more than 15 years in prison, following his drug trafficking arrest in Paintsville in 2022.

Aristotle White, 51, was arrested by Johnson County deputies following a traffic stop in May of 2022. During a search of his car, the officers found nearly 300 grams of meth, two loaded guns and more than $2,500 in cash.

During his trial in November, witnesses testified that White would routinely obtain large amounts of meth and sell it in Johnson County and other places.

On Monday, White was sentenced to 181 months in prison. He will be required to serve at least 85 percent of his sentence before becoming eligible for release.
