CHARLESTON, W.Va. - An Ohio woman was sentenced to federal prison for her role in a drug trafficking ring, announced United States Attorney Mike Stuart. Danielle Seagraves, 43, was sentenced to 60 months in prison, followed by four years of supervised release, for possessing methamphetamine with the intent to distribute.
“An Ohio woman and 33 grams of meth. This investigation removed a large amount of meth from Jackson County," said United States Attorney Mike Stuart. “We always have and we always will hold drug dealers accountable."
Seagraves previously admitted that on April 18, 2017, she had in her possession approximately 33 grams of methamphetamine that she intended to sell to individuals in and around Ripley. Before she could complete any drug transaction, officers with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) arrested Seagraves and seized the methamphetamine.
The Jackson County Bureau of Investigation, comprised of deputies from the Jackson County Sheriff's Department and officers with the Ravenswood and Ripley Police Departments, worked closely with the West Virginia State Police, the Parkersburg Narcotics Task Force and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to conduct the investigation. United States District Judge Joseph R. Goodwin imposed the sentence. Assistant United States Attorney Kristin F. Scott handled the prosecution.
