MARTINSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA - Sean Jarred Davis, 33, of Baltimore, Maryland, was sentenced to 240 months in federal prison for operating a fentanyl trafficking organization in Hampshire and Mineral Counties.

According to court documents and statements made in court, Davis, also known as "Mike" and "Mike White," was supplying large quantities of fentanyl and heroin, delivering the drugs to others in Hampshire and Mineral Counties to sell on his behalf.

Davis will serve three years of supervised release following his prison sentence.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Lara Omps-Botteicher prosecuted the case on behalf of the government.

The Potomac Highlands Drug Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative, led the investigation. The Task Force consists of members from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the West Virginia State Police, the Mineral County Sheriff's Office, the Hampshire County Sheriff's Office, the Hardy County Sheriff's Office, the Grant County Sheriff's Office, and the Keyser Police Department.

This case is part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) investigation. OCDETF identifies, disrupts, and dismantles the highest-level drug traffickers, money launderers, gangs, and transnational criminal organizations that threaten the United States by using a prosecutor-led, intelligence-driven, multi-agency approach that leverages the strengths of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies against criminal networks.

U.S. District Judge Gina M. Groh presided.
