CHARLESTON, W.Va. – United States Attorney Mike Stuart
announced that Theodore Gibson, 35, of Parkersburg, was sentenced to 60 months
in prison for conspiracy to distribute 50 grams or more of
methamphetamine. Gibson was prosecuted
as part of Project Parkersburg – a major takedown and dismantling of a
multi-state drug trafficking organization (DTO) responsible for distributing
methamphetamine and heroin. Stuart
commended the investigative efforts of the FBI, the Parkersburg Police
Department, the Dayton Ohio Police Department, and the Parkersburg Narcotics
and Violent Crime Task Force. The
long-term, joint investigation resulted in at least 29 individuals being
charged in federal and state court, the seizure of 121 pounds of ICE
methamphetamine, six kilograms of cocaine, 217 grams of heroin, and 290 grams
of fentanyl.
“This investigation resulted in the largest meth bust -- to
date -- in West Virginia and Ohio history,” said United States Attorney Mike
Stuart. “Breaking up this DTO and
locking up these drug dealers has no doubt saved a number of lives.”
United States District Judge Irene C. Berger imposed the
sentence. Assistant United States
Attorney Joshua C. Hanks is responsible for the prosecution.
