Curry provided a statement detailing his involvement with Daugherty, who admitted the package was his when questioned by law enforcement.

United States District Judge Thomas E. Johnston imposed the sentence.

The case was investigated by the West Virginia State Police and Drug Enforcement Administration. Assistant United States Attorney John J. Frail handled the prosecution.
