30-plus years in prison for Bardstown man, 10 years in prison for Bardstown woman on federal drug charges

A Bardstown man will serve more than three decades in prison, and a Bardstown woman will serve 10 years, after being sentenced last week on federal drug charges.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Kentucky says following his conviction in a September 2025 jury trial, Neal Scott Stone was sentenced to 30 years in prison followed by 10 years of supervised release. Because Stone was on federal supervised release at the time of the offenses, he was sentenced to an additional three-year prison term, with half to be served consecutively, bringing his total combined prison term to 31.5 years. Meanwhile, Keely Logsdon was sentenced to 10 years in prison following six years of supervised release.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office says between August of 2022 and June of 2023, Stone and Logsdon “conspired with each other and others to distribute over 400 grams of fentanyl and a quantity of cocaine.” On eight separate locations, Stone and Logsdon distributed the drugs, with Stone obtaining them from the southwest border of the United States and transporting them back to Bardstown.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office says there is no parole in the federal system. The case was prosecuted as part of the Homeland Security Task Force. The FBI, DEA, Greater Hardin County Narcotics Task Force, Nelson County Sheriff’s Office, and Kentucky State Police were among the law enforcement agencies which assisted in the investigation.
