PIKEVILLE, Ky. — A Lawrence County man faces federal charges for allegedly distributing drugs on multiple occasions.

Phillip Jude, 57, of Louisa, was charged in an 11-count indictment on Friday. He is charged with six counts of distributing oxycodone, one count of distributing meth and fentanyl, two counts of felon in possession of a firearm, and one count of possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking offense.

Most of the charges carry maximum sentences of either 15 or 20 years, but use of a gun in a drug crime could result in a life sentence.

Jude is currently being held in the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center in Paintsville.
