Bandon William Jones, a 42-year-old man from Detroit, Michigan, has been sentenced to 121 months in prison for his role in distributing heroin in Huntington, West Virginia.
The sentencing took place on a federal drug crime, with Jones previously pleading guilty to the charge. This is a serious offense that has had a significant impact on the community.
According to court documents, a confidential informant working with law enforcement purchased approximately 10.8 grams of heroin from Jones for $1,000.00 on October 29, 2020. The drug transaction took place on 16th Street Road in Huntington. Officers then followed Jones to the 1500 block of Hal Greer Boulevard where they arrested him. Additional suspected heroin and the $1,000 used in the controlled heroin purchase were found on Jones.
During the arrest, Jones admitted to being responsible for selling at least 20 kilograms of heroin in the Huntington area. This is a staggering amount of heroin, and it’s clear that Jones was involved in a significant operation.
The investigation was a joint effort between the Huntington Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). United States Attorney William S. Thompson commended the work of the investigative team and praised their dedication to bringing Jones to justice.
United States District Judge Robert C. Chambers imposed the sentence, which includes 121 months in prison. Assistant United States Attorney Greg McVey handled the prosecution.
The case is a reminder of the serious consequences of heroin distribution and the importance of law enforcement’s efforts to combat this issue. Heroin has devastating effects on individuals and communities, and it’s essential that those responsible are held accountable.
