CLARKSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA – Marvin Ellis Grubb, Jr., of
Maysville, West Virginia, was sentenced this week to 70 months incarceration
for distributing methamphetamine and illegally possessing a firearm, United
States Attorney Bill Powell announced.
Grubb, age 41, pled guilty to one count of “Possession with
the Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine” and one count of “Unlawful Possession
of a Firearm” in March 2018. Grubb admitted to distributing more than 50 grams
methamphetamine. He also admitted to illegally possessing a .357 caliber
pistol. The crimes occurred in August 2016 in Grant County.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods
(PSN), a program that has been historically successful in bringing together all
levels of law enforcement to reduce violent crime and make our neighborhoods
safer for everyone. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has made turning the tide of
rising violent crime in America a top priority. In October 2017, as part of a
series of actions to address this crime trend, Attorney General Sessions announced
the reinvigoration of PSN and directed all U.S. Attorney’s Offices to develop a
district crime reduction strategy that incorporates the lessons learned since
PSN launched in 2001.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Traci M. Cook prosecuted the case on
behalf of the government. The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Potomac Highlands Drug & Violent
Crimes Task Force, and the Grant County Sheriff’s Office.
U.S. District Judge John Preston Bailey presided.
