In a shocking turn of events, Kelsey McClung, 28, of Westover, West Virginia, has confessed to distributing cocaine base, also known as crack cocaine, in Monongalia County in March 2020.
According to sources, McClung, who faces up to 20 years incarceration and a fine of up to $1,000,000, pleaded guilty to one count of Distribution of Cocaine Base in a federal court in Clarksburg, West Virginia.
The investigation, led by the FBI’s Northern West Virginia Drug Task Force in partnership with the Mon Metro Drug Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative, revealed that McClung was involved in the distribution of cocaine base in Monongalia County in March 2020.
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. Attorneys Zelda E. Wesley and Sarah E. Wagner are prosecuting the case on behalf of the government.
The case was the result of investigations supported by the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF), which was established in 1982 to conduct comprehensive, multilevel attacks on major drug trafficking and money laundering organizations.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael Aloi presided over the case.
