HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – A Detroit, Michigan man was sentenced to
federal prison today for his role in a conspiracy to distribute heroin in
Huntington, announced United States Attorney Mike Stuart. Brandon R. Ware, 35, was sentenced to 60
months in prison after previously pleading guilty to conspiring to distribute
100 grams or more of heroin. Ware was
also ordered to serve a four-year term of supervised release following his
prison sentence.
“Ware, a Detroit drug dealer, is responsible for
distributing nearly 400 grams of heroin in Huntington,” said United States
Attorney Mike Stuart. “Now he is one of
many heroin dealers going to federal prison as a result of the collaborative
work between federal, state and local law enforcement and my prosecutors.”
Ware previously admitted that, from November 2014 to May of
2016, he conspired with others to distribute over 100 grams of heroin in the
Huntington area. Ware frequently
received quantities of heroin which had been transported from Detroit on
consignment and he would distribute the heroin in Huntington. Ware then returned money from the sales to
the source of the heroin in Detroit.
Ware admitted that he was responsible for the distribution of up to 400
grams of heroin during the conspiracy.
The FBI Drug Task Force and the Huntington Police Department
conducted the investigation. United
States District Judge Robert C. Chambers presided over the hearing. Assistant United States Attorney Joseph F.
Adams handled the prosecution.
