Sara L. Jackson, a 48-year-old resident of Keyser, West Virginia, has pleaded guilty to a federal charge related to drug distribution, specifically conspiracy to possess with the intention to sell fentanyl and methamphetamine hydrochloride.
Court documents reveal that Jackson was involved in a scheme with another individual to distribute large quantities of the drugs, including fentanyl in pill form, throughout Mineral County. A search of Jackson's apartment led to the discovery of 1,300 grams of fentanyl and 788 grams of methamphetamine.
Jackson could face a sentence of up to 20 years in federal prison. The final sentence will be determined by a federal district court judge, who will evaluate the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other relevant statutory factors.
The prosecution is led by Assistant U.S. Attorney Lara Omps-Botteicher. The Potomac Highlands Drug Task Force, supported by HIDTA funding, conducted the investigation. U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert W. Trumble oversaw the court proceedings.
