Mon County woman sentenced on meth, fentanyl charges
MORGANTOWN, (WBOY) — A Monongalia County woman who previously pleaded guilty to drug possession will now spend more than a decade behind bars.
According to a release from the U.S. Department of Justice, Stephanie Ann Allen, 34, will spend 12 years, seven months in prison for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and fentanyl.
Court documents said law enforcement officers saw Allen engage in 'suspicious activity' in the parking lot of the High Life Lounge in Morgantown, prompting a search of her vehicle. During the search, officers located 73 grams of meth, as well as seven grams of fentanyl.

While being processed at the Monongalia County Sheriff's Department, deputies said Allen attempted to 'flush other bags of both heroin and methamphetamine down a toilet,' according to a criminal complaint from 2022.
The release said Allen has a history of various other crimes, including burglary, robbery and drug possession.
Allen is set to serve three years of supervised release following her sentence.
The Mon Metro Drug Task Force investigated this incident, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Zelda Wesley prosecuted on behalf of the government.
