Traun Renekki Musgrove, Unlawful Use of Communication Facility, West Virginia 2021

A Martinsburg Man Faces Justice for Drug Trafficking

MARTINSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA – Traun Renekki Musgrove, a 42-year-old man from Hagerstown, Maryland, has been held accountable for his involvement in drug trafficking. He was recently sentenced to one year of probation for a drug charge.

On June 2017, Musgrove used a phone to sell marijuana in Berkeley County. He pleaded guilty in December 2021 to one count of “Unlawful Use of Communication Facility”. This crime is a serious offense, and Musgrove’s actions will not go unpunished.

The Eastern Panhandle Drug Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative, investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Lara Omps-Botteicher prosecuted the case on behalf of the government. U.S. District Judge Gina M. Groh presided over the sentencing.

As a result of the investigation, Musgrove was ordered to pay a $6,678 fine. This penalty serves as a reminder of the consequences of engaging in illicit activities. Musgrove will also serve one year of probation, a period during which he will be closely monitored to ensure he does not reoffend.

This case highlights the ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking in the region. The Eastern Panhandle Drug Task Force continues to work tirelessly to keep our communities safe from the scourge of illicit substances.
