Oscar Willard Thomas, Methamphetamine Distribution, West Virginia 2016
CLARKSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA – In a shocking turn of events, Oscar Willard Thomas, a 46-year-old man from Elkins, West Virginia, has admitted to a methamphetamine distribution charge. Thomas, also known as “Will Thomas,” faced off against the law in a harrowing battle that would leave many wondering how far he would go to avoid the consequences.
According to the U.S. Attorney Bill Powell, Thomas pled guilty to one count of “Distribution of Methamphetamine.” The charges stemmed from a September 2016 incident in Randolph County, where Thomas sold methamphetamine, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake.
Thomas now faces up to 20 years incarceration and a fine of up to $1,000,000. The Federal Sentencing Guidelines will determine the actual sentence imposed, taking into account the seriousness of the offenses and Thomas’s prior criminal history, if any.
The investigation was a collaborative effort between the Mountain Region Drug and Violent Crime Drug Task Force and the federal Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force Program (OCDETF). The OCDETF program provided critical federal funding and coordination, allowing federal and state agencies to work together to successfully identify, investigate, and prosecute major interstate and international drug trafficking organizations and other criminal enterprises.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen D. Warner, who has seen his fair share of battles against the law. U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael Aloi presided over the case, ensuring that justice was served.
Oscar Willard Thomas’s case serves as a stark reminder of the devastating effects of methamphetamine distribution.
