Dominic McCall, Drug Distribution, West Virginia 2018

Columbus Man Admits to Role in West Virginia Drug Operation

A Columbus, Ohio man has pleaded guilty to his role in a drug distribution operation in the northern panhandle of West Virginia.

Dominic McCall, age 29, pled guilty to three counts of ‘Use of Communication Facility to Facilitate a Drug Offense’ in U.S. District Court in Wheeling, West Virginia on November and December 2018 and February 2019.

McCall admitted to using a phone to sell methamphetamine in Marshall County and elsewhere in the region during the specified time period.

He faces up to four years of incarceration and a fine of up to $250,000 for each count. 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 Shawn M. Adkins is prosecuting the case on behalf of the government. The Marshall County Drug Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative, investigated.

U.S. Magistrate Judge James P. Mazzone presided over the case.

Dominic McCall, a Columbus, Ohio native, is set to face sentencing in the coming weeks. His exact sentencing date has not been announced.

McCall’s case is a stark reminder of the ongoing struggle with opioid addiction and the need for continued efforts to combat drug trafficking in West Virginia.

The investigation into McCall’s activities was conducted by the Marshall County Drug Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative.
