Madison Grant Sergent, a 27-year-old resident of Huntington, West Virginia, has been sentenced to one year and one day in federal prison for her role in aiding and abetting the distribution of methamphetamine. After completing her prison term, Sergent will serve three years on supervised release.
Court records show that on July 23, 2024, Sergent arranged for another individual to distribute about 24 grams of methamphetamine to a confidential informant in exchange for $180. Sergent admitted as part of her plea agreement that she organized the transaction after being contacted by the informant seeking to purchase methamphetamine.
Two co-defendants were also sentenced in connection with this case. Rakai Travall Hawkins, known as “G,” age 31 from Detroit, Michigan, received an eight-year and one-month sentence followed by four years of supervised release for possession with intent to distribute significant quantities of methamphetamine and fentanyl. Jeremiah Telmon-Isaiah Hand, known as “Joey,” age 30 from Inkster, Michigan, was sentenced to four years in prison and three years of supervised release after pleading guilty to distributing methamphetamine.
United States Attorney Moore Capito announced the sentencing and praised the efforts of the Huntington Violent Crime and Drug Task Force along with the Huntington Police Department. “United States Attorney Moore Capito made the announcement and commended the investigative work of the Huntington Violent Crime and Drug Task Force and the Huntington Police Department.”
The sentence was handed down by United States District Judge Robert C. Chambers. The prosecution was led by Assistant United States Attorney Courtney L. Finney.
This prosecution is part of Operation Synthetic Opioid Surge (SOS), which aims to reduce synthetic opioid supply in areas most affected by these drugs. It is also linked to Operation Take Back America—a nationwide effort involving multiple agencies focused on combating illegal immigration, dismantling cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protecting communities from violent crime.
