Matthew Logan Frame, 38, of Buckhannon, West Virginia, was sentenced to 165 months in federal prison for possession with intent to distribute more than five grams of methamphetamine.
According to court documents and statements made in court, officers were called to a gas station in Belington, West Virginia, on a shots fired incident. Officers attempted to stop Frame’s vehicle and he fled. The chase ended in a crash, and Frame was arrested with two bags of methamphetamine in his pockets. More methamphetamine and cash were recovered during a search of his vehicle.
Frame will serve five years of supervised release following his prison sentence.
The Mountain Region Drug Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative; the Barbour County Sheriff’s Office; and the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office investigated.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen Warner prosecuted the case on behalf of the government. Chief U.S. District Judge Thomas S. Kleeh presided.
