Charles Edward Scott from Damascus, Maryland, has been sentenced to a prison term of 156 months following his involvement in a drug conspiracy distributing the drug "boot" in West Virginia. Federal authorities describe Scott, known as "Whop Whop," as the leader of the conspiracy that distributed Eutylone, referred to as "boot," specifically in Berkeley and Jefferson Counties.
Court documents state Scott stored large amounts of the drug and firearms in Maryland and traveled, along with accomplices, to West Virginia for distribution. His criminal record includes previous convictions related to drugs, firearms, and theft.
Scott’s sentencing includes three years of supervised release post-incarceration. The investigation involved multiple bodies, including the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and several state and local law enforcement agencies.
Lara Omps-Botteicher, Assistant U.S. Attorney, managed the prosecution, with U.S. District Judge Gina M. Groh overseeing the case procedures. The case relates to a broader indictment involving multiple defendants in the distribution operation. More information on the related cases can be found at the designated government website.
