Glenville Man Sentenced for Methamphetamine Offenses

CLARKSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA - A Gilmer County man has been sentenced to 170 months in federal prison for methamphetamine and firearms convictions.

Duncan Currie Canter, age 30, of Glenville, West Virginia, was sentenced today to 170 months in federal prison for methamphetamine and firearms convictions.

According to court documents and statements made in court, Canter was working with others to distribute methamphetamine in Gilmer County. A semi-automatic pistol was located in Cantor's vehicle during a traffic stop. At the time, Canter was on supervised release due to a prior methamphetamine conviction in the Northern District of West Virginia and was prohibited from possessing firearms.

Canter has an extensive criminal history, including drug trafficking, which caused him to be classified and sentenced as a career offender. Canter will also serve 21 months in prison for a violation of his supervised release status at the time of the crime.

Canter will be on an additional three years of supervised release following this prison sentence.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and the Mountain Region Drug Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative, investigated the case.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Brandon Flower prosecuted the case on behalf of the government.

Chief U.S. District Judge Thomas S. Kleeh presided over the sentencing.
