Two Mon County women sentenced for oxy distribution network

Two Monongalia County women indicted in June 2017 as part of a massive oxycodone distribution network recently received their sentences in federal court recently.

According to press releases from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of West Virginia:

Monday, Ariel Blosser, 28, of Morgantown, was sentenced to 24 months in prison.

Blosser previously pleaded guilty to distribution of oxycodone in November, when she admitted to selling oxycodone in February 2016 in Monongalia County.

Friday, Amanda Gifford, 26, of Morgantown, received a 46 month sentence for unlawful use of communications facility.

She previously pleaded guilty to the charge and admitted she used a phone to help others distribution oxycodone in Mon County.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Zelda E. Wesley prosecuted both cases and Senior U.S. District Judge Irene Keely presided over both cases.
