United States District Judge Robert C. Chambers presided over the plea hearing.

The investigation is being conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Huntington Police Department, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Assistant United States Attorney Timothy D. Boggess is handling the prosecution.

Jazzmyn Rochon Litzy is a convicted felon with a history of crime. Her previous convictions include robbery in 2001 and drug trafficking and tampering with evidence in 2007. With her latest guilty plea, Litzy is now facing up to 20 years in federal prison.
