CLARKSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA – A 27-year-old Detroit man has been sentenced to 150 months in federal prison for leading a drug trafficking operation in Monongalia County.

Michael Robinson-Brown, of Detroit, Michigan, was handed down the sentence by Chief U.S. District Judge Thomas S. Kleeh after being found guilty of his leadership role in the operation.

As part of his sentence, Robinson-Brown will serve three years of supervised release following his prison term. Assistant U.S. Attorney Zelda Wesley prosecuted the case on behalf of the government.

The Mon Metro Drug Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative, led the investigation into Robinson-Brown’s activities.

Robinson-Brown’s sentence sends a strong message about the severity of the consequences for those involved in drug trafficking in West Virginia. The Mon Metro Drug Task Force’s efforts to combat the issue will continue to be crucial in keeping the community safe.
