William Durnal, 60, of Elkins, West Virginia, was sentenced Wednesday to 100 months in federal prison for methamphetamine possession and distribution.
According to court documents and statements made in court, Durnal was part of a drug trafficking organization that was distributing large amounts of methamphetamine, fentanyl, and cocaine in Morgantown, West Virginia.
A search of his home recovered hundreds of grams of methamphetamine.
Durnal has a criminal history that includes theft, forgery, burglary, battery, and passing counterfeit money.
Durnal will serve three years of supervised release following his prison sentence.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Zelda Wesley and Stephen Warner prosecuted the case on behalf of the government.
Investigative agencies include the Mon Metro Drug Task Force and the Mountain Region Task Force, both HIDTA-funded initiatives.
This effort is part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) operation.
OCDETF identifies, disrupts, and dismantles the highest-level criminal organizations that threaten the United States using a prosecutor-led, intelligence-driven, multi-agency approach.
