West Virginia Man Sentenced to 180 Months for Selling Methamphetamine
CLARKSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA – In a shocking turn of events, Shawn Michael Bork, 49, of Mount Clare, West Virginia, was sentenced to 180 months in federal prison for selling methamphetamine in Harrison County, WV. The conviction marks a significant blow to the growing methamphetamine trade in the region.
According to court documents and statements made in court, Bork was selling methamphetamine, at times using social media to traffic drugs. A search of his apartment resulted in the seizure of a firearm, methamphetamine, fentanyl, and a duffle bag containing $166,315 in cash. Bork has prior convictions for violation of a domestic violence order, harassment, obstructing, transporting controlled substances into a prison, and drug trafficking.
The case against Bork was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Cogar on behalf of the government. The investigation was conducted by the Greater Harrison Drug Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative.
Chief U.S. District Judge Thomas S. Kleeh presided over the case, handing down the 180-month sentence. Bork will serve three years of supervised release following his prison sentence.
The conviction serves as a reminder of the dangers of methamphetamine and the importance of law enforcement’s efforts to combat the trade. The 180-month sentence is a significant deterrent to those considering involvement in the methamphetamine trade.
