A Barbourville City Council member of more than 20 years has had his sentencing scheduled in the Eastern District of the U.S. District Court for July 7 after pleading guilty to conspiracy to unlawfully distribute a controlled substance on March 5.
Less than 24 hours after attending a Barbourville City Council meeting as a council member, Calvin Manis, 74, pleaded guilty in front of Magistrate Judge Hanly A. Ingram. Judge Ingram later recommended U.S. District Judge Robert E. Wier accept Manisâ plea, which he did on Thursday, March 10.
Manis was arrested last summer after the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) visited three pharmacies in the Tri-County. According to an affidavit used to secure the arrest of Manis, investigators from the London DEA office and the Barbourville Police Department interviewed cooperating witnesses in August 2019.
