A Montgomery woman has been brought to justice for her role in a poly-drug network operating in Kanawha and Fayette counties.
Carol Lynn Belton, 61, pleaded guilty today to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, as a result of a long-term investigation known as ‘Second Wave.’
According to the plea agreement and statements made in court, Belton obtained methamphetamine from co-defendant Jason Terrell and sold it in Montgomery between January and August 2020.
She admitted to selling approximately seven ounces during her involvement in the conspiracy.
Belton faces up to 20 years in prison when she is sentenced on June 8, 2021.
Other defendants, including Jimmie Coleman, Sammy Joe Fragale, Sr., Sammy Joe Fragale II, Larry Martin, and Jason Terrell, have also been charged in connection with the investigation.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Central West Virginia Drug Task Force (CWVDTF), the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Department, the Charleston Police Department, the United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS), and the Metropolitan Drug Enforcement Network Team (MDENT) conducted the investigation with assistance from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
