Upshur County man sentenced to prison for harboring a fugitive

CLARKSBURG, W. Va. — An Upshur County man convicted of harboring and concealing a wanted armed robbery suspect has been sentenced to prison.

Dustin Tyler Moore, 24, of Buckhannon will serve four months in prison after pleading guilty in August to one count of Concealing a Person from Arrest.

The sentence handed down Monday by U.S. District Judge Irene M. Keely is the result of a U.S. Marshals Service investigation which revealed Moore used his vehicle to transport an armed robbery suspect for whom the Harrison County Sheriff’s Department had obtained a felony arrest warrant.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Zelda Wesley prosecuted the case on behalf of the government.

Moore was also indicted by a Harrison County Grand Jury in September on one count of sexual assault in the first degree and one count of sexual assault in the second degree.
