CLARKSBURG, W.Va. – Ashley Nichole Bennett, of Buckhannon, West Virginia, was sentenced Monday to 121 months of incarceration for a drug charge, Acting U.S. Attorney Randolph J. Bernard announced.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Brandon S. Flower prosecuted the case on behalf of the government. The Greater Harrison Drug Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative, investigated.

U.S. District Judge Thomas S. Kleeh presided.
