A 38-year-old Huntington resident, Marrio Adam Kinchen, was sentenced to three years and 11 months in federal prison for distributing methamphetamine in Cabell County, West Virginia. The sentence was handed down in the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia following Kinchen’s prior guilty plea to federal drug distribution charges.
According to court records and statements made during the hearing, Kinchen engaged in multiple controlled drug sales to undercover informants and investigators. Law enforcement personnel recovered distribution quantities of high-purity methamphetamine during the operation, cutting off a retail supply source within the local neighborhood.
United States Attorney officials commended the investigative collaboration between state and federal narcotics investigators who built the evidentiary case. Alongside his 47-month prison term, Kinchen was ordered to serve three years of supervised release, during which he must comply with strict monitoring protocols established by the federal probation office.
