Two men have been sentenced for their involvement in a drug trafficking operation that extended from Michigan to Monongalia County, West Virginia.
Dorian Myles, aged 26, received a sentence of 97 months in federal prison for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. John Thomas, aged 46 and from Morgantown, West Virginia, was sentenced to 100 months for aiding and abetting the distribution of methamphetamine. Court documents and statements revealed that Myles acted as a supplier in the conspiracy operating in Monongalia County, distributing methamphetamine, cocaine base, and fentanyl. Thomas was identified as one of the drug runners involved. During an investigation at a residence in Morgantown, authorities recovered nearly 1,100 grams of methamphetamine.
Myles has previous convictions related to firearms offenses. Thomas's criminal record includes prior instances of drug trafficking and fraud.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Zelda Wesley prosecuted these cases on behalf of the government.
The investigation was conducted by the Mon Metro Drug Task Force, which is funded by HIDTA (High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas), along with the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Chief U.S. District Court Judge Thomas S. Kleeh presided over the proceedings.
