Detroit man admits to selling heroin, fentanyl near schools
Clarkburg, West Virginia – A 21-year-old Detroit man has admitted to his role in a drug trafficking conspiracy, according to court documents.
Doriawn Eduane-Draphel Rogers, 21, pleaded guilty to one count of “Possession with Intent to Distribute Heroin and Fentanyl in Proximity to a Protected Location.” He admitted to distributing heroin and fentanyl near Fairmont Senior High School and Fairmont State University in August 2020.
Rogers faces at least one and up to 40 years of incarceration and a fine of up to $2,000. 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 Brandon S. Flower is prosecuting the case on behalf of the government. The Three Rivers Drug Task Force investigated.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael John Aloi presided over the hearing. The case highlights the ongoing struggle with opioid addiction and the need for law enforcement to crack down on those selling these deadly substances.
The sentencing for Rogers is set to take place at a later date. Until then, the community remains on high alert, knowing that a potentially deadly drug dealer is awaiting his fate.
The grim reality of Rogers’ actions serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of heroin and fentanyl, and the devastating impact they have on families and communities.
