CLARKSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA – Terrell Moore, 35, a Detroit native, faced federal charges today for his role in the dark world of drug trafficking. The grim reaper of illegal pharmaceuticals was convicted in a federal court house today, as United States Attorney William J. Ihlenfeld, II, issued the grim verdict.
Moore’s reign of pill-pushing terror came to an end when the Greater Harrison County Drug and Violent Crime Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative, unearthed his sinister dealings in Monongalia County, West Virginia, back in January 2015. Today, Moore admitted guilt, copping to one count of ‘Distribution of Oxycodone,’ a crime that carries up to 20 years in the slammer and a fine that could reach a million dollars.
But Moore’s troubles don’t end there; he agreed as part of his plea deal to hand over his interest in a 2010 Ford Fusion, once thought to be a getaway vehicle for his dangerous trade. Assistant U.S. Attorney Shawn Morgan has been the vanguard of the prosecution, standing tall on behalf of the government.
The proceedings were presided over by U.S. Magistrate Judge John S. Kaull, who ensured justice was served with cold, unwavering resolve. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, Moore’s ultimate sentence will reflect the severity of his offenses and any prior criminal blemishes on his record.
As the wheels of justice grind forward, Moore’s fate is sealed, and his legacy as a drug dealer of oxycodone in Morgantown fades into the annals of federal convictions.
