From Office of the United State Attorney, Northern District of West Virginia

 

Clarksburg resident Antonio DeJesus, 28, originally of Delaware, was sentenced Monday to 46 months in prison for heroin trafficking, United States Attorney William J. Ihlenfeld, II announced.

 

An investigation by the Clarksburg, West Virginia Police Department and the Greater Harrison County Drug and Violent Crime Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative, revealed that DeJesus conspired with others to possess and distribute heroin in Harrison County throughout August and September 2014.

 

Members of the Bridgeport Police Department are on the Task Force. Chief John Walker is the chairman.

 

DeJesus pled guilty in December 2014 to one count of “Conspiracy to Possess with Intent to Distribute and to Distribute Heroin.”

Assistant U.S. Attorney Shawn Morgan prosecuted the case on behalf of the government.

 

U.S. District Judge Irene M. Keeley presided.
