A Berkeley County man is facing serious charges after allegedly distributing heroin in the area. According to authorities, Bradley Markley, a 31-year-old resident of Hedgesville, West Virginia, was arraigned in connection with a heroin distribution charge.

The indictment, which was returned by a federal grand jury in Martinsburg, West Virginia on May 16, 2017, alleges that Markley distributed heroin in October 2016 in Berkeley County. This crime is a serious offense that can have devastating consequences for individuals and communities.

Markley is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Anna Z. Krasinski, who is working on behalf of the government. The Eastern Panhandle Drug & Violent Crime Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative, is investigating the case.
