Amy Little, Unlawful Use of Communication Facility, West Virginia 2024

Amy Little, 45, of Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, has admitted to her role in a heroin, cocaine, and fentanyl distribution operation in Berkeley and Jefferson Counties.

In a plea deal, Little, also known as “Amy Jackson,” pleaded guilty to one count of “Unlawful Use of Communication facility.” The crime occurred in September 2018 in Berkeley County when Little used a phone to arrange a purchase of heroin.

Little faces up to four years incarceration and a fine of up to $250,000. Her actual sentence will be based on the seriousness of the offenses and her prior criminal history, if any.

The investigation was a result of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) under the Attorney General-led Synthetic Opioid Surge (SOS)/Special Operations Division (SOD) Project Clean Sweep.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Lara K. Omps-Botteicher, Special Assistant U.S. Attorney C. Lydia Lehman, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy D. Helman are prosecuting the case on behalf of the government.

The investigation was a multi-agency effort involving the Federal Bureau of Investigation; the West Virginia State Police; the Eastern Panhandle Drug & Violent Crimes Task Force; the Berkeley County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office; the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office; the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office; the Martinsburg Police Department; the Charles Town Police Department; and the Ranson Police Department.

The case is ongoing, with Little set to face the consequences of her crimes in the coming months.
