Wheeling Man Sentenced to 10 Years for Selling Drugs from a Public Housing Apartment
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of West Virginia announced that Roger Lee Williams, Jr., 32, of Wheeling, West Virginia, was sentenced to 120 months, or 10 years, in federal prison for trafficking drugs from a public housing apartment. The sentence was announced by U.S. Attorney Matthew L. Harvey, and U.S. District Judge John Preston Bailey presided.
Following a few sales of cocaine to a confidential informant, investigators executed a search warrant at the Booker T. Apartments, where Williams lived. Officers seized cocaine and methamphetamine and found $3,040 from Williams. Williams has a criminal history that includes domestic violence, drug trafficking, larceny, obstruction, and fleeing.
The case was investigated by the Ohio Valley Drug Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Ohio County Sheriff's Office, and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Clayton Reid. The case is part of Operation Take Back America, the Department of Justice's nationwide initiative against cartels and transnational criminal organizations and violent crime.
