ELKINS, WEST VIRGINIA – Kelsey Morgan Ault, of Maysville, West Virginia has admitted to her role in a methamphetamine and fentanyl distribution operation, U.S. Attorney Bill Powell announced.
Ault, 26, pled guilty today to one count of “Possession with Intent to Distribute at Least Forty Grams of Fentanyl—Aiding and Abetting.” Ault admitted to having more than 40 grams of fentanyl in Hardy County in January 2020.
Ault is facing at least five and up to 40 years of incarceration and a fine of up to $5,000,000. 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.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen D. Warner is prosecuting the case on behalf of the government. The Potomac Highlands 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.
