WHEELING — Four Wheeling residents were sentenced Thursday for selling fentanyl, heroin and methamphetamine in the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia, U.S. Attorney Matthew L. Harvey announced.

Tyshaun Johnson, 30, was sentenced to 115 months in prison. Johnson sold fentanyl near Jensen Playground in Wheeling. Investigators also determined he was selling cocaine base in the area. He has prior convictions for fraud, assault, domestic battery, malicious assault and theft.

Harold Wayne Nice, 42, was sentenced to 60 months. Nice sold more than 30 grams of methamphetamine, nearly 2 grams of fentanyl and 1 gram of cocaine base. He has previous convictions for domestic battery, destruction of property, assault, breaking and entering, and drug crimes.

Cephus Andrews, 33, received an 18-month sentence for conspiring with others to sell fentanyl, heroin and cocaine in Ohio County. Andrews, one of nine defendants in a drug conspiracy, allowed his residence to serve as a stash house for the drugs. Investigators seized 7.5 grams of a fentanyl-heroin mixture, 3.35 grams of cocaine, drug paraphernalia and $1,095. The other eight defendants are awaiting trial, currently scheduled for April 2026.

Alyssa Marie Abrigg, 34, was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison. Abrigg sold nearly a gram of fentanyl and half a gram of methamphetamine in the Warwood section of Wheeling. She has prior drug convictions.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Clayton Reid prosecuted the cases on behalf of the government.

Investigative agencies included the Ohio Valley Drug Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Wheeling Police Department.

Fentanyl has been designated by President Donald Trump as a weapon of mass destruction because of its extreme lethality, which poses a grave threat to public safety even in trace amounts. The case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that mobilizes the resources of the Department of Justice to combat cartels and transnational criminal organizations, protect communities from violent crime and combat illegal immigration.

U.S. District Judge John Preston Bailey presided.
