Kentucky Woman Sentenced for Arranging Drug Buys in West Virginia
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – A Kentucky woman has been sentenced to five years of federal probation for arranging a drug buy in West Virginia.
Tonda Click, 58, of Ashland, Kentucky, pleaded guilty in September 2014 to using a telephone to facilitate a drug crime. On December 26, 2013, Click made a series of calls to a known dealer to arrange the sale of cocaine to a third party.
On December 26, 2013, Chief United States District Judge Robert C. Chambers imposed the sentence. The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Agency, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Huntington Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney Greg McVey was in charge of the prosecution.
Click, who was sentenced to five years of federal probation, is required to comply with the terms and conditions set by the court. This includes regular check-ins with a probation officer and adherence to any rules or restrictions imposed.
The prosecution of Click serves as a reminder of the importance of combating drug trafficking in the region. The Huntington Police Department, along with other law enforcement agencies, continues to work tirelessly to identify and prosecute individuals involved in drug-related crimes.
In a statement, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said, ‘This sentence demonstrates our commitment to holding individuals accountable for their actions and protecting the community from the dangers of drug trafficking.’
Tonda Click’s case serves as a warning to those involved in similar activities. Individuals who engage in drug trafficking and related activities can expect to face severe consequences, including lengthy prison sentences and fines.
