MARTINSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA – Levar Glenwood Crawford, of
Martinsburg, West Virginia, was sentenced today to 51 months incarceration for
distributing cocaine, U.S. Attorney Bill Powell announced.
Crawford, age 42, pled guilty to one count of “Aiding and
Abetting Possession with Intent to Distribute Cocaine Base” in July 2019.
Crawford admitted to working with another to distribute cocaine base in
November 2018 in Berkeley County.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Lara Omps-Botteicher prosecuted the
case on behalf of the government. The Eastern Panhandle Drug & Violent
Crimes Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative, investigated.
The investigation was funded 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.
Chief U.S. District Judge Gina M. Groh presided.
