Charleston Residents Sentenced On Drug Charges
WEST VIRGINIA....
Three Charleston residents were sentenced Wednesday by U.S. District Judge John T. Copenhaver Jr. for selling cocaine base in the Charleston area. Forty year old Delcoria Carter was sentenced to eight years in prison, followed by six years of supervised release, after entering a guilty plea in September 2010. Twenty-one year old Levi Carter was sentenced to a year and one day in prison, to be followed by a three-year term of supervised release. Thirty year old Danny Fortune received a sentence of 70 months in prison to be followed by a three-year term of supervised release. Both Levi Carter and Fortune pleaded guilty in September 2009 to distributing crack to confidential informants. An investigation found that Delcoria Carter aided and abetted Levi Carter with distributing a quantity of cocaine base to a confidential informant in October 2009.
