Darrick Dorell Fleming, II, Meth Charge, West Virginia 2021

WHEELING, WEST VIRGINIA – Darrick Dorell Fleming, II, a 38-year-old man from Columbus, Ohio, has been sentenced to 57 months of incarceration for a drug charge, announced United States Attorney William Ihlenfeld.

Fleming pleaded guilty in March 2022 to one count of Possession with Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine. Fleming admitted to having methamphetamine in October 2021 in Ohio County.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Shawn M. Adkins prosecuted the case on behalf of the government. The Ohio Valley Drug Task Force and the Marshall County Drug Task Force, both HIDTA-funded initiatives, investigated.

The case was presided over by U.S. District Judge John Preston Bailey.

Fleming’s sentencing to 57 months of incarceration is a significant outcome for the West Virginia community, which has been affected by the opioid crisis. Fleming’s actions demonstrate the ongoing threat of methamphetamine trafficking in the region.

As this case shows, the Ohio Valley Drug Task Force and the Marshall County Drug Task Force are committed to combating the scourge of methamphetamine in West Virginia. We will continue to work tirelessly to bring those responsible for this crime to justice.
