Charleston man caught with over a kilogram of meth sentenced to four years in federal prison

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – A Charleston man caught with a significant amount of methamphetamine was sentenced today to four years in federal prison for a drug charge, announced United States Attorney Carol Casto. Craig Jason Hundley, 40, previously pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. 

Hundley admitted that on April 4, 2016, he was stopped on Interstate 64 in Cabell County by a member of the West Virginia State Police. A K-9 named Feera utilized by the West Virginia State Police performed an exterior sniff of Hundley’s car and indicated that drugs were present. When law enforcement searched the car, they found approximately 1,065 grams of methamphetamine concealed in the trunk. 

The case against Hundley was investigated by the West Virginia State Police and the Drug Enforcement Administration. Assistant United States Attorney Timothy D. Boggess is in charge of the prosecution. Chief United States District Judge Robert C. Chambers imposed the sentence.

This case is being prosecuted as part of an ongoing effort led by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of West Virginia to combat the illicit sale and misuse of illegal drugs, including methamphetamine. The U.S. Attorney’s Office, joined by federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, is committed to aggressively pursuing and shutting down pill trafficking, eliminating open air drug markets, and curtailing the spread of illegal drugs in communities across the Southern District.
