HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – A pair of Georgia men are facing serious time after admitting to peddling poison in the Mountain State. Reginald Bernard Daniely Jr., also known as “Yo,” 34, and Jacquis Christopher Moody, also known as “Jo,” 30, both hailing from Macon, Georgia, pleaded guilty today to aiding and abetting the possession with intent to distribute fentanyl and crack cocaine.
The bust went down February 20, 2024, when law enforcement descended upon a Huntington apartment where Daniely and Moody were holed up. It wasn’t a social call. A search warrant yielded a disturbing haul: approximately 13.814 grams of a heroin and fentanyl mixture, a hefty 38.827 grams of crack cocaine, and two firearms – tools of the trade for anyone dealing in misery.
Both Daniely and Moody didn’t try to deny ownership. As part of their guilty pleas, they confessed to possessing both the deadly drugs and the loaded weapons. This wasn’t about personal use; this was about profit, about flooding the streets of West Virginia with substances that are killing people every single day. The streets of Huntington have seen enough death, and these two were adding fuel to the fire.
Acting United States Attorney Lisa G. Johnston didn’t mince words, praising the work of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the dedicated officers of the Huntington Police Department. This was a collaborative effort, a clear message that federal and local agencies are working together to dismantle these drug networks.
United States District Judge Robert C. Chambers presided over the hearings, and Assistant United States Attorney Joseph F. Adams is leading the prosecution. Sentencing is currently scheduled for October 14, 2025. Daniely and Moody each face a maximum sentence of 20 years behind bars, a minimum of three years of supervised release after they get out, and a staggering $1 million fine. That’s a steep price, but it barely begins to cover the cost of the damage they’ve inflicted.
For those seeking more information, a copy of the press release can be found on the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of West Virginia website. Court documents related to Case No. 3:25-cr-17 are also available on PACER. This case serves as a grim reminder of the relentless fight against drug trafficking and the consequences for those who choose to profit from addiction and violence.
