MARTINSBURG, W.Va. — A Jefferson County woman was sentenced in federal court last week for nearly three years in prison on charges she sold fentanyl on a college campus.
The U.S. Attorney’s office tells The Panhandle News Network Hannah Marie Behm, 54, of Harpers Ferry, West
Virginia, was sentenced to 33 months in federal prison for the distribution of fentanyl within 1,000
feet of a protected location.
A press release from U.S. Attorney William Ihlenfeld’s office reports Behm was selling fentanyl pills on
and around the campus of Shepherd University in Shepherdstown, West Virginia.
During a traffic stop, officers found Behm with 133 capsules containing a mixture that included fentanyl.
Behm will be required to report for supervised release for six years following her prison sentence.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Daniel Salem prosecuted the case on behalf of the government.
The Eastern Panhandle Drug Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative, and the Berkeley County
Sheriff’s Office investigated.
U.S. District Judge Gina M. Groh presided.
