Defendant Gets 45 Months for Selling Heroin in West Virginia

A Huntington man, Andre Womble, 30, was sentenced to 21 months for selling heroin, announced United States Attorney Mike Stuart.

In a separate proceeding, Womble was sentenced to 24 months in prison for violating the terms of his supervised release by selling heroin. The sentences will run consecutive to one another for a 45-month prison sentence.

“Womble was selling drugs before even completing his term of supervised release from a previous federal drug conviction,” said United States Attorney Mike Stuart. “His return to criminal activity gets him more time in prison.”

Womble previously admitted that on June 18, July 12, and July 19, 2019 he sold heroin to an informant in Huntington, West Virginia.

The Huntington Police Department conducted the investigation. United States District Judge Robert C. Chambers imposed the sentence. Assistant United States Attorney Stephanie S. Taylor handled the prosecution.

This case is being prosecuted as part of Operation Synthetic Opioid Surge (S.O.S.), an enforcement surge that seeks to reduce the supply of deadly synthetic opioids in high-impact areas.

Womble’s return to the world of crime will see him behind bars for a significant amount of time. The people of Huntington can rest assured that justice has been served.
