Tavoyn Billy Morrison, 26, of Huntington, pleaded guilty on Mar. 30 to distributing cocaine base, also known as crack.

The case is part of a broader investigation into the distribution of controlled substances in the Huntington area. Morrison is one of seven individuals who have entered guilty pleas following this effort.

According to court documents and statements made in court, Morrison sold about three grams of crack for $200 to a confidential informant at a Huntington residence on July 31, 2025. He also admitted that he conducted another similar sale outside the same residence on August 14, 2025.

Morrison is scheduled for sentencing on July 13 and faces up to twenty years in prison, at least three years of supervised release, and a fine that could reach $1 million. United States District Judge Robert C. Chambers presided over the hearing while Assistant United States Attorney Stephanie Taylor prosecuted the case.

United States Attorney Moore Capito said he commended the investigative work carried out by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Huntington Police Department, and the Huntington Violent Crime and Drug Task Force.
