Three men were sentenced to prison for selling drugs in the Northern District of West Virginia this week.

Khareem Sampson, 30, of Morgantown, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Thomas Kleeh to 15 years and six months in prison for selling methamphetamine, according to U.S. Attorney Bill Powell.

In April, Sampson pleaded guilty to one count of possession with intent. He admitted to selling meth in Monongalia County in July 2018, Powell said.

Lemar Sheldon Conliffe, 43, of Morgantown, was sentenced to six years in prison by Kleeh.

Conliffe, also known as “AB” pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting the distribution of cocaine base in April. Powell said Conliffe was working with another person to sell the drug in Monongalia County in April 2018.

Delon Phillip Price, 28, of Dearborn, Mich., was sentenced to five years and two months in prison for drug distribution, Powell said.

Price, also known as Pedro, admitted to selling heroin within 1,000 feet of WVU in November 2017. Price was sentenced by Senior U.S. District Judge Irene Keely.
