Maryland man sentenced for moving fentanyl to Morgan, other panhandle counties

Warren Thomas Gray, also known as “Stix,” 25, of Baltimore, has been sentenced to 24 months for his role in an Eastern Panhandle fentanyl trafficking operation.

Court officials say Gray was one of the ringleaders of a fentanyl operation, supplying fentanyl from Baltimore to others to distribute in Hampshire, Mineral, and Morgan Counties.

During the investigation, officers seized several firearms, ammunition, and U.S. currency.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Lara Omps-Botteicher prosecuted the case on behalf of the government.

The Potomac Highlands Drug Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative, led the investigation. The Task Force consists of members from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the West Virginia State Police, the Mineral County Sheriff’s Office, the Hampshire County Sheriff’s Office, the Hardy County Sheriff’s Office, the Grant County Sheriff’s Office, and the Keyser Police Department.

The Hampshire County Prosecutor’s Office assisted. U.S. District Judge Gina M. Groh presided.
