MARTINSBURG, W.Va. — Sean Jarred Davis, 33, of Baltimore, Maryland, was sentenced on Tuesday to 20 years in federal prison for running a fentanyl trafficking organization that operated in Hampshire and Mineral Counties, West Virginia.

Court records reveal that Davis, also known as “Mike” and “Mike White,” distributed large quantities of fentanyl and heroin to individuals who sold the drugs on his behalf in the region. The sentencing includes three years of supervised release following his prison term.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Lara Omps-Botteicher and investigated by the Potomac Highlands Drug Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative comprised of multiple federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies.

“This investigation reflects the collaborative efforts of law enforcement to disrupt high-level drug trafficking networks,” officials said in a statement. The task force included members from the FBI, DEA, West Virginia State Police, and multiple sheriff’s offices and local police departments across the region.

The prosecution was part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) investigation, a program designed to dismantle drug trafficking and transnational criminal organizations using a multi-agency, intelligence-driven approach.

Davis was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Gina M. Groh, marking the culmination of a case targeting a significant source of illicit drugs in the area.
