Marcus Allen Johnson, also known as “Mook,” 42, of Huntington, was sentenced on July 20 to seven years and eight months in prison followed by four years of supervised release for distributing fentanyl.
According to court documents and statements made in court, Johnson sold approximately 53.76 grams of a mixture containing fentanyl on January 14, 2025, and approximately 56.68 grams of a mixture containing fentanyl on January 28, 2025. Both sales were made to a confidential informant in Huntington. As part of his guilty pleas, Johnson admitted that he conducted each transaction and arranged them beforehand.
Johnson’s sentence was enhanced because he made threats to a government witness during the prosecution.
United States Attorney Moore Capito announced the sentencing and commended the investigative work of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Cabell County Sheriff’s Office. United States District Judge Robert C. Chambers imposed the sentence. Assistant United States Attorney Joseph F. Adams prosecuted the case.
This case was prosecuted as part of Operation Synthetic Opioid Surge (SOS), an enforcement surge aimed at reducing the supply of synthetic opioids in high impact areas.
