CLARKSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA - Tina Hart of Glenville, West Virginia, was sentenced to two years probation for a drug charge, United States Attorney Bill Powell announced.
Hart, age 40, pled guilty to one count of “Unlawful Use of Communication Facility" in February 2019. Hart admitted to using a phone to distribute a controlled substance in April 2018 in Monongalia County.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Zelda E. Wesley prosecuted the case on behalf of the government. The Drug Enforcement Administration, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and the Mon Metro Drug & Violent Crimes Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative, investigated. The United States Marshal Service assisted.
The investigation was funded in part by the federal Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force Program (OCDETF).
