CLARKSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA
A jury convicted Kalif Briggs, 33, of Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, his role in a multi-state heroin and oxycodone trafficking operation, according to federal officials.
Briggs participated in a drug trafficking network that trafficked heroin and oxycodone that was taken across state lines from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Morgantown, West Virginia for redistribution and sale throughout the region, officials said.
The operation was disrupted in November 2014 when Briggs, along with 20 other individuals, was charged in a 65-count federal indictment.
Specifically, officials said Briggs sold oxycodone in 2014 in Monongalia County, West Virginia.
Briggs pled guilty last week to one count of “Aiding and Abetting Distribution of Oxycodone.”
He faces up to 20 years in prison, officials said.
