Two Sentenced for Involvement in Heroin Ring in West VirginiaU.S. Attorney Thomas E. Johnston was in Weirton, West Virginia Thursday to announce the sentencing of two drug traffickers from the area who were part of a heroin ring that distributed the drug locally for nearly two years.
James D. Lemmi, 21, of Burgettstown, Pa., and Fred Ferguson, 22, of Toronto were sentenced in Wheeling by U.S. District Court Judge Frederick P. Stamp Jr. for their involvement in a drug trafficking ring in the Weirton, West Virginia and Follansbee, West Virginia areas. The arrests and charges against the two men came after a 13-month investigation by the Drug and Violent Crimes Task Force serving Weirton and Brooke and Hancock counties.
According to Johnston, Lemmi, a former Weirton, West Virginia resident, was the leader of an extensive heroin distribution ring who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute the drug from the fall of 2001 until July. Johnston said Lemmi's leadership role in the drug ring helped lead to an increased sentence. Lemmi was sentenced to 97 months in prison to be followed by three years of supervised release.
Ferguson, considered a "lieutenant" in the drug ring who worked under Lemmi's watch, was sentenced to 37 months in prison to be followed by three years of supervised release after pleading guilty to conspiracy to distribute heroin from the fall of 2001 to July.
Johnston said the two would serve their complete sentences since there was no chance for parole in the federal prison system, and that should send a message to others dealing drugs in the area.
"I believe the effort to get the drugs off the street is making a difference," Johnston said. "I shudder to think of the state of affairs we would have if we did not have this effort from the law enforcement officers."
Johnston said he believed the proximity of Weirton, West Virginia to a metro area like Pittsburgh makes it an easy target for drug distributors but stopped short of saying there is a drug problem or drug epidemic in the area.
"I won't go as far as calling it an epidemic," Johnston said. "But if you're a parent and have a child addicted to heroin, it's going to feel like an epidemic to you."
Johnston said the ring that Lemmi and Ferguson were involved in was known to have sold to juveniles, adding Lemmi was known to have distributed 20,000 bags of heroin at one time.
In addition to announcing the sentences, Johnston also presented local West Virginia officials with a check for more than $4,000, representing proceeds confiscated from illegal drug activity.
According to Johnston, the monies were derived from the distribution of cocaine in Weirton, West Virginia and surrounding areas, and much of the money will go toward fighting drugs in the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia.
"The residents here in Hancock and Brooke counties are fortunate to have the dedicated and professional law enforcement officers who work on the task force," Johnston said. "These officers have put in long hours addressing the drug trafficking problems in this area. In addition to taking the criminal element off the street, forfeiture monies are being returned to the law enforcement agencies to assist with future drug investigations."
While the $4,043.10 will be used to help fight drugs, interim Weirton, West Virginia Police Chief Vince Gala said the forfeiture check represents more than just funding for the law enforcement agencies.
"Any amount of money is a help, but it is not as important as the effect it has on the perpetrators," Gala said. "This tells them that if you're going to be involved in illicit drug activity, it's going to cost you."
