A man and a woman were sentenced Monday to federal prison on
drug trafficking charges, according to information from U.S. Attorney Booth
Goodwin's office.
Michelle Craig, 34, and James Bennett, 44, both were sentenced
by Chief U.S. District Judge Robert Chambers to prison terms of two years, nine
months and two years, respectively.
Craig and Bennett previously plead guilty in August 2013 to
aiding and abetting each other in the illegal distribution of oxycodone, a
powerful prescription painkiller. Craig and Bennett admitted that on April 22,
2010, they sold 100 oxycodone tablets for $2,300 to a confidential informant
working with the Metropolitan Drug Enforcement Network Team (MDENT).
The drug deal took place in the parking lot of a Pilot gas
station in Nitro , W.Va. Putnam County , W.Va.
