Heather L. Hewitt, a West Virginia woman, has been sentenced to over 60 years in prison and fined $25,000 for her involvement in drug trafficking as a meth and fentanyl dealer. She led a drug trafficking ring in Fayette County and was involved in transporting drugs into West Virginia from out of state. Following her arrest in February 2022, law enforcement seized more than $250,000 from her organisation, including more than a pound of fentanyl, two pounds of methamphetamine, approximately three ounces of cocaine, sets of digital scales, and five guns.
