CHARLESTON, W.Va. – United States Attorney Mike Stuart
announced that Joseph Daniel Mills, 40, of Walker, was sentenced yesterday to 9
years in federal prison for possession with intent to distribute
methamphetamine. Stuart commended the
investigative efforts of the Parkersburg Narcotics Task Force and the FBI.
Mills pled guilty in July 2017, admitting that on May 12,
2017, he possessed approximately 10 ounces of methamphetamine, 21 firearms,
body armor, and scales when law enforcement officers executed a federal search
warrant at his residence.
“21 firearms. Body armor.
Methamphetamine. Mills was a
danger to law enforcement and our good citizens and we will never tolerate
risks to law enforcement or the public,” said United States Attorney Mike
Stuart. “We are aggressively prosecuting
dangerous drug dealers like Mills throughout the Southern District of West
Virginia, from Parkersburg to Williamson, Huntington to White Sulphur Springs
and everywhere in between.”
United States District Judge Joseph R. Goodwin imposed the
sentence in federal court in Charleston.
Assistant United States Attorney Joshua Hanks prosecuted the case.
