Chad William Mullooly, a 40-year-old resident of Clarksburg, West Virginia, has pleaded guilty to distributing p-Fluorofentanyl. Court documents state that Mullooly sold both fentanyl and p-Fluorofentanyl, which is a synthetic opioid, on multiple occasions in Harrison County.
Mullooly could be sentenced to as much as 20 years in federal prison. The final sentence will be determined by a federal district court judge who will take into account the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other legal factors.
The prosecution is being handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney William Rhee. The investigation was conducted by the Greater Harrison Drug Task Force, which operates with funding from the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) program. U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael John Aloi oversaw the proceedings.
