Seven Indicted on Drug Distribution Charges in West Virginia

A federal grand jury sitting in Clarksburg, West Virginia, has indicted seven people on drug distribution charges, announced United States Attorney Bill Powell.

The 14-count indictment alleges those named conspired with one another to distribute “crack” cocaine and cocaine hydrochloride, also known as “cokey,” in Monongalia County and elsewhere from the Spring of 2018 until November 2018.

The seven individuals named in the indictment are:

• Lemar Sheldon Conliffe, also known as “AB,” age 42, of Morgantown, West Virginia
• Levon Williams, also known as “Slim,” age 36, of Bronx, New York
• Kenneth Buzzo, age 57, of Granville, West Virginia
• Sandra Riggleman age 58, of Granville, West Virginia
• Bonnie Jo Korzun, age 38, of Granville, West Virginia
• Tyler Hammack, age 20, of Westover, West Virginia
• Clifford “Mike” Nethken, age 45, of Morgantown, West Virginia

Assistant U.S. Attorney Zelda E. Wesley is prosecuting the cases on behalf of the government. The Mon Metro Drug & Violent Crimes Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative, investigated.

According to the indictment, the defendants allegedly conspired to distribute large quantities of cocaine in Monongalia County and elsewhere. The investigation is ongoing, and further charges may be filed.

An indictment is merely an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
