A federal grand jury in West Virginia has returned an indictment charging Casey Tyler Nagy, 28, originally of Missouri, with distribution of LSD and unlawful possession of a firearm.
Nagy is alleged to have distributed lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) in June 2015 in Wetzel County, West Virginia while in unlawful possession of a firearm. Nagy was convicted of the felony offense of “Distribution of Marijuana” in the Criminal District Court of Orleans Parish, Louisiana. As a result of that conviction, he is prohibited from possessing a firearm. At the time of the purported drug offense in June 2015, Nagy was allegedly discovered in unlawful possession of a .303 caliber rifle.
Nagy is charged with one count of “Distribution of LSD,” for which he faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $500,000. He is further charged with one count of “Felon in Possession of a Firearm,” for which he faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed will be based upon the seriousness of the offenses and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant.
Assistant U.S. Attorney David Perri is prosecuting the case on behalf of the government. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the New Martinsville Police Department are investigating.
An indictment is merely an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
Nagy’s case is a stark reminder of the dangers of illicit substances and the importance of enforcing our nation’s gun laws.
The investigation into Nagy’s activities is ongoing, and we urge anyone with information to come forward.
We will continue to work tirelessly to keep our communities safe and hold those who break the law accountable.
Nagy’s exact sentence will depend on the outcome of the trial and the discretion of the sentencing judge.
