Geon Lavell Henderson, also known as “Money,” from Huntington, West Virginia, pleaded guilty to distributing more than 50 grams of methamphetamine and a quantity of fentanyl. Henderson admitted his involvement in a drug trafficking organization that operated in the Huntington area.
Court documents and statements revealed that on April 9, 2025, Henderson sold approximately 110 grams of methamphetamine and 1.9 grams of fentanyl to a confidential informant for $800 at his residence. He acknowledged arranging this transaction in advance.
Henderson also admitted to organizing the sale of about 111 grams of methamphetamine for $900 and around 55 grams for $400 on April 17, 2025. Another individual carried out both transactions with a confidential informant at a residence in Huntington.
Sentencing is set for June 22, 2026. Henderson faces a mandatory minimum sentence of ten years and could receive up to life imprisonment, along with at least five years of supervised release and a fine up to $10 million.
Henderson is one of ten people indicted for participating in the alleged drug trafficking operation between January and August 2025. Five individuals have pleaded guilty so far; charges against other defendants are still pending. The indictment is an allegation, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
United States Attorney Moore Capito recognized the efforts of federal and local law enforcement agencies involved in the investigation: the FBI, DEA, Cabell County Sheriff’s Office, Mason County Sheriff’s Office, and Huntington Police Department.
The hearing was overseen by United States District Judge Robert C. Chambers. Assistant United States Attorneys Joseph F. Adams and Courtney L. Finney are handling prosecution duties.
This prosecution falls under Operation Take Back America—a nationwide effort led by the Department of Justice focused on combating illegal immigration, eliminating criminal organizations such as cartels and transnational groups, and protecting communities from violent crime.
