Jacqueline L. Krsul, Cocaine Possession, West Virginia 2021

A Berkeley County woman will spend the next two years behind bars after being sentenced for her role in a cocaine possession case.

MARTINSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA - Jacqueline L. Krsul, of Falling Waters, West Virginia, was sentenced to 24 months of incarceration for cocaine possession, Acting U.S. Attorney Randolph J. Bernard announced.

At just 31 years old, Krsul pled guilty to one count of Possession with Intent to Distribute Cocaine Base in January 2021. This plea came after she admitted to having cocaine base, also known as crack, in April 2020 in Morgan County.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy D. Helman prosecuted the case on behalf of the government, working alongside investigators from the Morgan County Sheriff's Office.

Chief U.S. District Judge Gina M. Groh presided over the case, handing down the sentence of 24 months' incarceration.

Krsul's guilty plea and subsequent sentencing serve as a reminder of the severe consequences of engaging in illicit activities. Cocaine possession and distribution are serious crimes that carry significant penalties.

As this case demonstrates, law enforcement agencies and prosecutors are committed to holding individuals accountable for their actions and keeping our communities safe.
