HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - A Huntington man pled guilty today to a federal drug charge, announced United States Attorney Mike Stuart. Kenneth Alexander, 33, entered a guilty plea to an indictment charging him with aiding and abetting the distribution of heroin.
“We’re taking heroin dealers off the streets one by one and, on certain days, by the dozens," said United States Attorney Mike Stuart. “We are laser focused on prosecuting drug dealers and making our communities safer for West Virginia families."
Alexander admitted that on Aug. 1, 2018, he and another individual sold heroin to a confidential informant in the 1100 block of 9th Avenue in Huntington, West Virginia.
Alexander faces up to twenty years in federal prison when he is sentenced on Jan. 13, 2020.
The Cabell County Sheriff’s Department conducted the investigation. The plea hearing was held before United States District Judge Robert C. Chambers. Assistant United States Attorney Stephanie S. Taylor handled the prosecution.
