ALEXANDRIA, Va. – A Woodbridge woman was sentenced today to
five years in prison for buying and selling wholesale quantities of high-grade
methamphetamine.
According to court documents, Nina Booher, 36, bought pounds
of methamphetamine for redistribution to her customers in northern Virginia.
Beginning in early 2018, Booher was buying pounds of methamphetamine every two
or three weeks from her boyfriend and co-conspirator, Matthew Colby Cochran.
Then, when she learned the identity of her boyfriend’s supplier, who was based
in New York, she started buying methamphetamine directly from the supplier.
In November 2018, law enforcement searched Booher’s home in
Woodbridge and found more than 200 grams of methamphetamine, marijuana, heroin,
smoking devices, a digital scale, packaging materials, and thousands of dollars
in cash.
Earlier this month, Cochran was sentenced to three years in
prison for his involvement in the conspiracy.
This matter was investigated by the Washington Field
Office’s Safe Streets/HIDTA Task Force – Northern Virginia which is composed of
agents and detectives from Fairfax County, Prince William County Police,
Loudoun County Sherriff’s Office, Leesburg Police, Vienna Police, Alexandria
City Police, and Herndon Police.
G. Zachary Terwilliger, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern
District of Virginia, Charles Dayoub, Acting Special Agent in Charge, Criminal
Division, FBI Washington Field Office, and Jesse R. Fong, Special Agent in
Charge for the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) Washington Field
Division, made the announcement after sentencing by U.S. District Judge Anthony
J. Trenga. Assistant U.S. Attorney Katherine E. Rumbaugh prosecuted the case.
