LONDON, Ky. — A Perry County man could spend the rest of his life in prison, after being indicted on drug and gun charges in federal court.
Benjamin Todd Mobelini, 49, of Viper, has been indicted on four counts of distributing meth, possession with the intent to distribute a mixture of meth and fentanyl, two counts of felon in possession of a firearm, and possession of a firearm in a drug trafficking offense. The combination of the drug and gun charges means he faces a potential life sentence if convicted.
Mobelini was arrested back in January, after being pulled over when a state trooper recognized him and knew he was wanted for a parole violation. During the stop, the officer discovered meth and fentanyl in the car.
Mobelini is currently being held in the Adair County jail, where he is serving a 10-year sentence for robbery. He has been ordered to appear in London federal court on Sept. 22 for arraignment.
