CLARKSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA – Stormetta Hawkins, of Clarksburg, West Virginia, was sentenced today to 12 months incarceration for her role in a methamphetamine distribution operation, United States Attorney Bill Powell announced.
 
Hawkins, age 26, pled guilty to one count of “Distribution of Methamphetamine” in March 2019. Hawkins admitted to selling methamphetamine in July 2018 in Harrison County.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Zelda E. Wesley is prosecuting the case on behalf of the government. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and the Greater Harrison Drug & Violent Crimes Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative, investigated. The United States Marshal Service assisted.
