A man tied to Aryan prison gangs has been sentenced to 14 years in federal prison on drug charges.

Federal authorities said Yehoshua Kilp, 39, led a drug trafficking cell that moved hundreds of pounds of methamphetamine and fentanyl, even while he was jailed on state charge, the U.S. Attorney’s Office stated in a news release Friday.

“This defendant has been involved with the criminal justice system since age 14 and has caused significant harm,” Acting U.S. Attorney Teal Luthy Miller said. “The wiretap investigation revealed that even when he was jailed on state charges, he continued to direct drug distribution activities.”

Federal agents said Kilp continued distributing fentanyl despite knowing the drugs were causing overdoses.
