Terrence D. Marsh, a 38-year-old man from Detroit, Michigan, was sentenced to 295 months in prison for his role in a massive methamphetamine distribution ring.
According to court documents, Marsh conspired with others to distribute over 500 grams of methamphetamine, as well as heroin and fentanyl, in Marion County and other areas from the fall of 2018 to January 2019.
The investigation revealed that some of the drug dealing took place near West Fairmont Middle School, with the presence of firearms. The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Three Rivers Drug and Violent Crimes Task Force.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Traci M. Cook and Brandon S. Flower prosecuted the case on behalf of the government. Senior U.S. District Judge Irene M. Keeley presided over the trial.
Marsh was found guilty of one count of Conspiracy to Possess With the Intent to Distribute and Distribute Controlled Substances, as well as four other charges related to the distribution of methamphetamine, heroin, and fentanyl near protected locations.
The jury deliberated for just 35 minutes before delivering the guilty verdict in August 2019. Marsh’s sentencing comes as a reminder of the devastating impact of drug trafficking on communities.
Marsh’s case is a testament to the tireless efforts of law enforcement agencies in West Virginia to combat the opioid epidemic and bring justice to those responsible.
