BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — A Jamestown woman was sentenced Tuesday to nine years in prison for her involvement in an alleged drug trafficking ring that occurred between 2018 and 2020, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Kylie Reeves, 31, was convicted of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine.

Reeves distributed methamphetamine and heroin to co-defendant and alleged leader of the ring, Rocco Beardsley. Beardsley was arrested on New York State warrants in March 2020 and charged a month later. He is still awaiting sentencing.

Reeves continued to communicate with co-conspirators, associates, suppliers and customers on Beardsley's behalf after his arrest. She allowed him to use her Jamestown residence and also lived in his residence with her three minor children.

During a search by investigators, methamphetamine was found in Beardsley's home, along with fentanyl, cocaine, hydrocodone and other controlled substances found in his vehicle.

In 2020, Reeves was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
