Demonte Jovon Walker, also known as “DJ,” was sentenced on Apr. 6 to one year and three months in prison for distributing 50 grams or more of methamphetamine, with five years of supervised release to follow. The first year of his supervised release will be served on home detention.
The sentencing addresses a series of drug sales that occurred in Huntington, West Virginia. Prosecutors said the case highlights ongoing efforts by law enforcement agencies to address illegal drug activity in the region.
According to court documents and statements made during proceedings, Walker sold approximately 83 grams of methamphetamine for $450 to a confidential informant on October 24, 2024. He admitted arranging this transaction beforehand and conducting it inside the informant’s vehicle.
Walker also admitted responsibility for other drug transactions earlier that month. He sold about 56 grams of methamphetamine for $300 on October 2, and another sale involving roughly 55 grams took place on October 17 under similar circumstances. Additionally, Walker arranged for another individual to sell around 50 grams of methamphetamine for $300 on October 9.
United States Attorney Moore Capito announced the sentence and commended the investigative work conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Cabell County Sheriff’s Office. United States District Judge Robert C. Chambers imposed the sentence, while Assistant United States Attorneys Stephanie Taylor and Courtney L. Finney prosecuted the case.
