Zane Matthew Young, a 26-year-old from Coalton, West Virginia, has pleaded guilty to a serious crime.
On November 1, 2020, Young was in possession of fentanyl with the intent to distribute it in Upshur County, West Virginia.
This revelation comes as a shock to many in the community. Young, who faces up to 20 years of incarceration, is now awaiting his sentence.
According to the United States Attorney William Ihlenfeld, Young’s sentence will be based on the seriousness of the offense and his prior criminal history, if any.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen D. Warner is prosecuting the case, and the Mountain Lakes Drug and Violent Crimes Task Force investigated.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael Aloi presided over the case. Young’s crime is a serious one, and his sentence will likely reflect the severity of the offense.
Young’s guilty plea is a significant development in this case, and it sheds light on the ongoing struggle against fentanyl trafficking in West Virginia.
The United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of West Virginia is committed to combating fentanyl trafficking and other serious crimes in the region.
Young’s sentencing will take place at a later date. Meanwhile, the community remains vigilant in the face of this serious threat.
