Jeren Danielle Canterbury, 34, of Charleston, has been sentenced to three years and five months in prison for her role in distributing methamphetamine. The sentence, which will be followed by three years of supervised release, was imposed by United States District Judge Robert C. Chambers.
According to court documents, Canterbury sold approximately 27.84 grams of methamphetamine to a confidential informant for $230 in Nitro on March 3, 2023. She also admitted to selling approximately 111.46 grams of methamphetamine to the confidential informant for $800 in Charleston on March 15, 2023.
The investigation was led by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), with United States Attorney Will Thompson announcing the sentencing. Thompson commended the DEA’s work on the case, which was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Troy D. Adams.
The case against Canterbury was built on the evidence of the two transactions, which took place in March 2023. The first transaction, in which Canterbury sold 27.84 grams of methamphetamine for $230, was followed by a larger sale of 111.46 grams for $800 just over a week later.
The sentencing of Jeren Canterbury serves as a reminder of the ongoing issue of methamphetamine distribution in West Virginia. The state has struggled with the problem of drug trafficking, and law enforcement agencies have been working to crack down on those involved in the trade.
