Man Admits to Making Methamphetamine
A Fairmont man has admitted to his role in making methamphetamine in Marion County, West Virginia. Jesse Nelson Yoho, 44, of Fairmont, pleaded guilty to one count of “Possession of Pseudoephedrine to be Used in Manufacture of Methamphetamine,” announced United States Attorney Bill Powell.
According to court documents, Yoho admitted to possessing Pseudophedrine with the intent of making methamphetamine in Marion County in April 2015. The crime carries a maximum sentence of 20 years incarceration and a fine of up to $1,000,000.
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 prosecuting the case on behalf of the government.
The Three Rivers Drug & Violent Crime Task Force investigated Yoho and gathered evidence leading to his arrest. U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael John Aloi presided over the case.
Yoho’s guilty plea is a significant blow to the methamphetamine trade in Marion County. The West Virginia community can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that one of the key players in the methamphetamine operation has been held accountable.
However, the fight against methamphetamine continues. Grimy Times will continue to provide updates on this case and any other developments in the war on drugs.
The case is a testament to the tireless efforts of law enforcement agencies working together to keep our communities safe.
