Tanisha Constance Brown, 36, and Tiffany Sloan-Combs, 40, two Charleston women, have pleaded guilty to federal drug crimes for their roles in a conspiracy that distributed fentanyl and cocaine base, also known as crack, in the Charleston area between September 2025 and April 2026. The women worked together to prepare and sell the illicit substances, with Brown living with a co-conspirator who obtained the fentanyl and Sloan-Combs sometimes mixing the fentanyl with non-controlled substance cutting agents before its distribution to customers.
Brown distributed quantities of fentanyl to others in the Charleston area, with the understanding that several of her customers would redistribute the fentanyl to third-party customers. Sloan-Combs also re-distributed some of the fentanyl she acquired as part of the conspiracy to third parties while using some of it herself. Additionally, Brown facilitated transactions between a male co-conspirator who supplied the crack and a female co-conspirator who typically used it, with these transactions taking place at or near the male co-conspirator’s Charleston residence.
In a separate case, Sloan-Combs admitted to selling approximately 50 grams or more of methamphetamine. The guilty pleas mark a significant blow to the illicit drug trade in the Charleston area, with the women facing potential prison time for their crimes.
The investigation and prosecution of Brown and Sloan-Combs demonstrate the ongoing efforts of law enforcement agencies to combat the spread of illicit substances in West Virginia. The case highlights the importance of cooperation between agencies and the community in identifying and bringing to justice those involved in drug trafficking.
