Baltimore man indicted on drug charge


MARTINSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA – A Baltimore, Maryland man has been indicted by a federal grand jury sitting in Martinsburg on March 20, 2018 on a heroin distribution charge, United States Attorney Bill Powell announced.

Troy Bradley, also known as “Rich,” age 39, was indicted on one count of “Distribution of Heroin.” Bradley is accused of selling heroin in Berkeley County on December 11, 2015.

Bradley was arrested in Maryland on April 13, 2018.

Bradley faces up to 20 years incarceration and a fine of up to $1,000,000. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed will be based upon the seriousness of the offenses and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant.

Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Grant, also with the West Virginia Attorney General’s Office, is prosecuting the case on behalf of the government. The Eastern Panhandle Drug & Violent Crimes Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative, investigated.

An indictment is merely an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
