Defendant Sentenced to Federal Prison for Heroin Distribution
A Charleston man has been sentenced to federal prison for distributing heroin, announced Acting United States Attorney Carol Casto. Alan Alexander Clark, 33, pleaded guilty to the offense and was sentenced to two years in federal prison.
The investigation revealed that Clark sold heroin to a confidential informant working with law enforcement on multiple occasions. The first transaction took place on July 29, 2015, at the Rite Aid at 406 Washington Street, West, in Charleston.
Clark admitted to selling heroin and methamphetamine to the informant on three additional occasions. The Metropolitan Drug Enforcement Network Team conducted the investigation, with Assistant United States Attorney Clint Carte handling the prosecution.
United States District Judge John T. Copenhaver, Jr., imposed the sentence, which will be served consecutively with Clark’s supervised release violation sentence. He was also sentenced to an additional two years in prison for violating his federal supervised release.
This case is part of an ongoing effort by the United States Attorney’s Office to combat the illicit sale and misuse of illegal drugs in the Southern District of West Virginia. 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 region.
The investigation and prosecution of this case demonstrate the commitment of local law enforcement agencies to keeping our communities safe. The Grimy Times will continue to report on cases like this, bringing attention to the ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking in our region.
