Charles Johnson, 33, of Detroit, Michigan, received the longest sentence—96 months in federal prison. Stephanie Miller, 48, of Charleston, West Virginia, was sentenced to 84 months. Sandra Tennant, 55, of Morgantown, received a 51-month sentence, while Jordan Spadafore, 34, also of Morgantown, was sentenced to five years of probation. The sentences were handed down in Clarksburg by Chief U.S. District Judge Thomas S. Kleeh.
The investigation was led by the Mon Metro Drug Task Force, a HIDTA-funded collaborative composed of multiple federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. These include the FBI, ATF, DEA, West Virginia State Police, and several local police departments in the Morgantown area. The operation is part of a broader effort under the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) initiative, which targets high-level criminal enterprises through coordinated, intelligence-driven strategies.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
