Commonwealth's attorneys from Graves, Carlisle and Hickman counties recently sentenced three men in a 2022 fentanyl death, and a fourth suspect is still at large.

According to a post from the Graves County Commonwealth’s Attorney, suspects Ivory Christopher Parker, Thomas Jenkins, Reggie Martin and Taylor Jones were all charged with several felonies in Graves, Carlisle, and Hickman counties in October of 2022 for an ongoing drug trafficking operation.

That same month, a man died after reportedly purchasing what were thought to be Percocet pills but actually contained fentanyl.

Law enforcement traced the pills back through the hands of each of the suspects. Police later found nine plastic baggies of blue fentanyl pills in Parker’s home. Each baggie contained approximately 100 pills that were identical to the pill that caused the victim's death.

Jenkins was sentenced on Aug. 17 in Carlisle County Circuit Court.

Martin was sentenced on Aug. 17 in Hickman County Circuit Court.

Jones was sentenced on Aug. 28 in Graves County Circuit Court.

All three were collectively sentenced to more than 50 years in prison.

Parker was never apprehended and there are still warrants out for his arrest. If you have any information regarding Parker’s whereabouts, please contact law enforcement.

A fifth suspect, Daniel Lutgendorf, died in jail before his cases were resolved
