Jeremy Adam Bartram, Methamphetamine Trafficking, West Virginia 2023

Huntington Man Convicted of Methamphetamine Trafficking

In a shocking turn of events, Jeremy Adam Bartram, 31, of Huntington, West Virginia, has pleaded guilty to possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine. This disturbing crime took place on April 30, 2023, when law enforcement officers conducted a traffic stop of a vehicle driven by Bartram in Huntington.

According to court documents and statements made in court, officers searched Bartram’s vehicle and arrested him. Bartram admitted that when he was taken to the Huntington Police Department, a bag containing approximately 172 grams of methamphetamine fell out of his shorts as he got out of the police cruiser. This is a stark reminder of the dangers of methamphetamine and the importance of law enforcement’s tireless efforts to keep our communities safe.

But that’s not all – officers later searched Bartram in a holding cell and found approximately 10.4 grams of fentanyl hidden in his person. Bartram admitted that he intended to sell the methamphetamine and the fentanyl. This brazen act of trafficking highlights the need for continued vigilance in our fight against the opioid epidemic.

Bartram is scheduled to be sentenced on October 30, 2023, and faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a $1 million fine. This severe punishment serves as a warning to those who would engage in such illicit activities.

United States Attorney Will Thompson made the announcement and commended the investigative work of the Huntington Police Department. This is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our law enforcement agencies.

In related news, United States District Judge Robert C. Chambers presided over the hearing. Assistant United States Attorney Stephanie Taylor is prosecuting the case.

We urge all those affected by the opioid epidemic to seek help and support. Resources are available, and there is hope for recovery. Let us stand together to combat this scourge and build a safer, healthier community for all.
