CHARLESTON, W.Va. – A Boone County woman’s life is about to take a drastic turn after she pleaded guilty to a federal methamphetamine charge. Sherri Hill, 57, admitted to possessing more than 100 grams of methamphetamine on June 25, 2020, on U.S. 119 in Boone County.

Law enforcement officers stopped Hill shortly after she purchased the methamphetamine. A subsequent interview revealed that Hill had dealt methamphetamine for several years throughout the state.

Hill pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, a serious crime that carries a significant sentence. According to the court documents, she faces a minimum of 5 years and up to 40 years in prison when she is sentenced on August 18, 2021.

Acting United States Attorney Lisa G. Johnston made the announcement, commending the investigative work of the West Virginia State Police and the DEA. Assistant United States Attorney L. Alexander Hamner is prosecuting the case.

Sherri Hill’s case highlights the ongoing struggle against methamphetamine distribution in West Virginia. The state has seen a significant increase in methamphetamine-related crimes in recent years, making it a priority for law enforcement agencies.

As the sentencing date approaches, Hill’s future hangs in the balance. Will she receive a lenient sentence or face the maximum penalty for her crime? Only time will tell.

This case serves as a reminder of the dangers of methamphetamine and the importance of law enforcement’s efforts to combat the illicit drug trade.
