A Dry Ridge man was sentenced to 22 years in federal prison on Friday following a guilty plea last spring to charges of conspiring to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine and possession of a short-barreled shotgun in furtherance of drug trafficking.
Paul Stapleton, 48, was one of multiple people charged and convicted in the trafficking operation.
Investigators said that Stapleton led the conspiracy that distributed more than 1.5 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine throughout Northern Kentucky. Agents seized what they called significant amounts of meth in Campbell and Grant counties in October of 2019 along with multiple firearms, including two short-barreled shotguns that were found in Stapleton s Grant Co. residence.
The call comes as NIE Networks launches its strategy to develop a sustainable energy system for the future, which it says will impact every citizen across NI.
Entitled ‘Networks for Net Zero’, the strategy report sets out NIE Networks’ considered views on the options and pathways for decarbonisation in Northern Ireland.
It also highlights how electrification can play a significant role in a flexible and integrated decarbonised energy system.
Explaining the “critical role” that the electricity network plays in Northern Ireland, NIE Networks Managing Director Paul Stapleton says, “The twin challenges of re-building our economy after the Covid-19 pandemic, together with transforming our society to achieve net-zero carbon by 2050, provide the context for a unique period of change and opportunity in how we provide and consume energy in Northern Ireland.
