CHARLESTON, W.Va. – A former Beckley substance abuse treatment counselor pleaded guilty Wednesday to the illegal distribution of fentanyl.

Reeves stole fentanyl patches from his wife’s supply and provided the drugs to the patient, who was undergoing treatment for opioid addiction.
Reeves will be sentenced May 15 and faces up to 20 years in prison.
