Jamie Green, a 47-year-old resident of Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, has been sentenced to 70 months in prison. The sentencing is for conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute and to distribute cocaine.

Court documents reveal that the United States Postal Service Office of Inspector General intercepted a package containing over two pounds of cocaine sent from Los Angeles, California, to Green's address in Jefferson County, West Virginia. Following this interception, investigators arrested Green at his home. He has previous convictions related to drugs, aggravated assault by a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, and firearms offenses.

After completing his prison term, Green will be subject to three years of supervised release.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Kyle Kane prosecuted the case on behalf of the government. The investigation involved several agencies including the United States Postal Service Office of Inspector General, the West Virginia State Police, and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.

The sentence was handed down by U.S. District Judge Gina M. Groh.
