Kennard D. Tucker pleaded guilty in June to drug trafficking.
A Bucks County methamphetamine trafficker who sold drugs throughout Souderton and Telford and other Bucks and Montgomery county communities was sentenced Tuesday in Montgomery County Common Pleas court to 2½ to 5 years in state prison, per court records.
Kennard D. Tucker, 47, of the 700 block of Willow Avenue, Penndel, pleaded guilty in June to felony possession with intent to deliver meth stemming from drug sales he committed between January and July 2022. He was sentenced by Common Pleas Judge Thomas C. Branca.
A confidential informant told police about Tucker’s methamphetamine sales in the Indian Valley area in early 2022, per the affidavit. Eventually, the informant conducted controlled buys from Tucker under the supervision of detectives, police said, at four locations in both counties over a 7-month period last year.
Authorities said Tucker’s methamphetamine sales were amounts not conducive to personal use, with Tucker offering at one point during a controlled buy to give the informant larger amounts of the drug than requested.
“This illustrates Tucker has access to a large amount of methamphetamine that he used to service his customers and sub-dealers,” according to the complaint.
The Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General assisted county detectives during the investigation.
