HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – A South Point, Ohio man who was caught
selling methamphetamine in Huntington last year pled guilty today to a federal
drug charge, announced United States Attorney Mike Stuart. Jose Cisneros, 28, entered a guilty plea to
distributing methamphetamine in federal court in Huntington. Stuart commended the investigative efforts of
the FBI Drug Task Force.
“Meth dealers have flooded our communities,” said United
States Attorney Mike Stuart. “But we’re
up to the task. We’re working
hand-in-hand with law enforcement to send them packing.”
On October 25, 2018, an informant working at the direction of
the FBI contacted Cisneros to arrange a meth transaction. Cisneros subsequently met the informant at a
location in Huntington where he sold the informant one and a half ounces of
methamphetamine in exchange for $650.
Cisneros was arrested on November 6, 2018, in the 2900 block of 5th
Avenue in Huntington and agents seized additional meth that Cisneros intended
to distribute.
Cisneros faces up to 20 years in federal prison when he is
sentenced on June 3, 2019.
Assistant United States Attorney Joseph F. Adams is handling
the prosecution. The plea hearing was
held before United States District Judge Robert C. Chambers.
