Heroin Trafficker Pleads Guilty in Virginia
A Roanoke man has pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute heroin in the Western District of Virginia, United States Attorney John P. Fishwick Jr. announced today.
Jesse Ray Little, [no age listed], pled guilty to one count of conspiring to distribute 100 grams or more of heroin, a charge that carries a maximum possible penalty of up to 40 years in prison.
Little’s guilty plea comes as the heroin epidemic continues to ravage communities across the country, leaving a trail of destruction and death in its wake.
“Heroin continues to destroy our communities and we will continue to work with our partners in law enforcement to prosecute those who deal this deadly drug as well as provide treatment and prevention services to those in need,” United States Attorney John P. Fishwick Jr. said today.
The investigation of the case was conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Bedford County Sheriff’s Office, and the Virginia State Police. Assistant United States Attorney Andrew Bassford prosecuted the case for the United States.
Little’s guilty plea is a significant victory in the fight against heroin trafficking in the Western District of Virginia. It serves as a reminder that those who deal this deadly drug will be held accountable for their actions.
The case against Little is a prime example of the collaborative effort between law enforcement agencies to combat the heroin epidemic. The investigation and prosecution of this case demonstrate the commitment of the United States Attorney’s Office to protecting the community and bringing those responsible for heroin trafficking to justice.
