Pittsburgh resident admits to drug charges in West Virginia court

A Pittsburgh resident, Queshawn Keand Williams, admitted to distributing p-Fluorofentanyl and fentanyl in a federal court in Clarksburg, West Virginia. Williams, who is 20 years old and also known by the alias "TJ," was involved in selling fentanyl in Harrison County.

Williams is now facing a potential maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison. The final sentence will be determined by a federal district court judge, taking into account the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and various statutory considerations.

The case against Williams is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Cogar. It originated from an investigation by the Greater Harrison Drug Task Force, which is part of a HIDTA-funded initiative.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael John Aloi presided over the court proceedings.
