WYOMING COUNTY, WV (LOOTPRESS) – A Wyoming County woman pled guilty on Wednesday to drug charges pertaining to the delivery of fentanyl, oxycodone, alprazolam, methamphetamine, and other substances.
According to the Office of the Prosecuting Attorney for Wyoming County, on October 20, 2023, Southern Regional Drug and Violent Task Force member Corporal Christian Hedinger, Sergeant Logan Cook, and Deputies Tucker Cook and Mathew Perry of the Wyoming County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant at the Matheny residence of Gennie England.
The search, conducted as part of an ongoing investigation, was initiated upon law enforcement obtaining information confirming the use of unlawful substances at the residence while serving an arrest warrant for an unrelated offense.
The execution of the search warrant led to the discovery of an array of illicit substances within the residence. Such substances include fentanyl, alprazolam, methamphetamine, hydrocodone, gabapentin, and oxycodone, along with two recovered firearms.
“The Office of the Prosecuting Attorney and law enforcement in Wyoming County will continue to aggressively pursue those who choose to deal illegal drugs,” said Wyoming County Prosecutor Greg Bishop. “We will not tire in our steadfast resolve to rid Wyoming County of the illegal substances that poison our community.”
The case was prosecuted by Assistant Prosecutor Derek Laxon and investigated by members of the Wyoming County Sheriff’s Office. Gennie England – 45 years old of Matheny, WV – pled guilty to the charges of Possession with Intent to Deliver a Controlled Substance and Possession without a Prescription on Wednesday, November 13, 2024. Sentencing for these charges is expected to occur next month.
