CLARKSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA – Darmatrice Love and Kenyata
Boudreaux, both of Detroit Michigan, have been sentenced for their roles in a
drug distribution operation, United States Attorney Bill Powell announced.
Love, age 33, was sentenced today to 135 months
incarceration. Boudreaux, age 42, was
sentenced today to 24 months probation. Love and Boudreaux each pled guilty to
one count of “Aiding and Abetting Maintaining Drug-Involved Premises” in March
2018. Love and Boudreaux admitted to managing an apartment on Riddle Avenue in
Morgantown, West Virginia, to distribute oxycodone. The crime occurred from
October 2016 to March 2017.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Zelda E. Wesley prosecuted the cases
on behalf of the government. The Mon Valley Drug and Violent Crime Drug Task
Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative, led the investigation. The Task Force
consists of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
Monongalia County Sheriff’s Office, Morgantown Police Department, the Star City
Police Department, the West Virginia State Police, the West Virginia University
Police Department, the Granville Police Department, and the Monongalia County
Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.
The investigation was funded in part by the federal
Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force Program (OCDETF). 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.
Senior U.S. District Judge Irene M. Keeley presided.
