MARTINSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA – A Martinsburg, West Virginia woman pled guilty today to distributing crack cocaine, Acting United States Attorney Betsy Steinfeld Jividen, announced.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Anna Z. Krasinski is prosecuting the case on behalf of the government. The Eastern Panhandle Drug & Violent Crime Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative, investigated.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert W. Trumble presided.
