WHEELING, W.Va. — A Harrison County man has pleaded guilty to a federal drug charge.
Suhip E. Ebrahim, 26, of Bridgeport, entered the plea Monday to Conspiracy to Possess with Intent to Distribute and to Distribute Oxycodone.
Ebrahim conspired with at least one other individual to possess and sell oxycodone throughout 2015 and 2016 in Ohio County. Specifically, he was arrested in Wheeling in March 2016 after he was discovered to be in possession of nearly 600 oxycodone pills and around $100,000 in United States currency.
He faces up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $1,000,000.
The Ohio Valley Drug and Violent Crime Task Force, the Marshall County Drug and Violent Crime Task Force and the Greater Harrison County Drug and Violent Crime Task Force, all HIDTA-funded initiatives, investigated.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Robert McWilliams and Jarod Douglas prosecuted the case on behalf of the government, while Senior U.S. District Judge Frederick P. Stamp, Jr. presided.
