MARTINSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA -Christopher Wigfall, also known as “Frank," of Randallstown, Maryland, was sentenced today to 210 months incarceration for selling heroin in the Eastern Panhandle, United States Attorney Bill Powell announced.
“This sentence should send a clear message. We will not tolerate poison being sold to our neighbors. Heroin distribution will be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible. The sentence imposed by the court sends a very strong message. Our work will continue," said Powell.
Wigfall, age 38, was found guilty of two counts of “Distribution of Heroin," and one count of “Possession with the Intent to Distribute Heroin" by a jury after a trial in February 2018. Wigfall sold heroin in December 2014 in Berkeley County.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Anna Z. Krasinski and Special Assistant U. S. Attorney Elizabeth D. Grant, also with the West Virginia Attorney General’s Office, prosecuted the case on behalf of the government. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Eastern Panhandle Drug & Violent Crimes Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative, investigated.
Chief U.S. District Judge Gina M. Groh presided.
