(06/01/2019)
A judge sentenced a Gilmer County woman for drug distribution.

Tina Hart, 40, of Glenville, was sentenced to two years probation for a drug charge, according to the United States Attorney's Office.

Hart pleaded guilty in February 2019 to one count of unlawful use of communication facility. Hart admitted to using a phone to distribute a controlled substance in April 2018 in Monongalia County, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

The Drug Enforcement Administration, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Mon Metro Drug & Violent Crimes Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative, investigated. The United States Marshals Service assisted.

The investigation was funded in part by the federal Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force Program. The OCDETF program supplies critical federal funding and coordination that allows federal and state agencies to work together to successfully identify, investigate and prosecute major interstate and international drug trafficking organizations and other criminal enterprises.
