U.S. Attorney William Ihlenfeld says 35 year old Steven Kohl of Columbus, Ohio pleaded guilty Wednesday to aiding and abetting interstate travel in aid of a racketeering enterprise. Kohl is the first person to be convicted in West Virginia on federal bath salts distribution charges. Police say Kohl brought the synthetic drugs to Tyler County from Columbus in September 2011. Kohl faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. A sentencing date hasn't been set.
