CLARKSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA – A Detroit, Michigan man had his initial appearance today following an indictment by a grand jury on May 2, Acting United States Attorney Betsy Steinfeld Jividen, announced.
Julian Michael-Thomas “Cain” Johnson, age 22, was indicted on two counts of “Distribution of Heroin” and one count of “Distribution of Heroin within 1,000 Feet of a Protected Location.”
The crimes are alleged to have occurred between October and December 2016 in Monongalia County.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Zelda E. Wesley is prosecuting the case on behalf of the government. The Mon Metro Drug & Violent Crime Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative, investigated.
