Kaylie Marie Jones, Conspiracy to Distribute Methamphetamine, West Virginia 2017

A Harrison County woman has confessed to her role in a massive methamphetamine distribution operation in West Virginia.

Kaylie Marie Jones, 26, of Wallace, West Virginia, pleaded guilty to one count of "Conspiracy to Distribute More Than Fifty Grams or More of Methamphetamine" in a federal court.

The guilty plea was announced by U.S. Attorney Bill Powell, who stated that Jones admitted to working with others to distribute more than 50 grams of methamphetamine from February 2017 to June 2018 in Harrison County and elsewhere.

Jones faces a prison sentence of not less than five years and up to 40 years, as well as a fine of up to $5,000,000. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed will be based upon the seriousness of the offenses and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew R. Cogar is handling the case on behalf of the government. The Greater Harrison Drug Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives investigated the case.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael Aloi presided over the proceedings.

Jones’ guilty plea marks the latest development in a long-running investigation into methamphetamine distribution in Harrison County and surrounding areas.

The case serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact of methamphetamine on communities across West Virginia.
