The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Lexington Police Department are jointly appealing to the public for assistance in locating Tavis Lamar Chenault, a 25-year-old fugitive currently at large. Chenault is wanted on federal charges related to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute 400 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of fentanyl. According to authorities, the suspect is considered armed and dangerous and has strong ties to the Lexington area. The investigation stems from a series of alleged drug transactions that took place between August 4 and August 14, 2026. These activities were investigated by the FBI and the Lexington Police Department's Special Investigations Unit. A federal arrest warrant was issued on August 14, 2026, by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky in Frankfort. Chenault, who was born in Lexington, may also be known by the aliases "T" and "Lil T." Physical descriptions provided by the FBI identify him as 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighing approximately 200 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He is noted to have tattoos on both arms that extend from his hands to his shoulders. The FBI has offered a reward of up to $20,000 for information that leads to Chenault's arrest and conviction. Authorities urge anyone with information regarding his whereabouts to refrain from approaching him directly due to the danger he poses. Instead, the public is encouraged to contact the FBI's Louisville Field Office at 502-263-6000, submit a tip online through tips.fbi.gov, or call the Lexington Police Department at 859-258-3600. This ongoing manhunt highlights the continued efforts of federal and local law enforcement to dismantle drug trafficking operations and apprehend individuals involved in the distribution of dangerous substances within the community.
