Charleston man pleads guilty to drug charge
A Charleston man pleaded guilty in federal court to using a cell phone to deal cocaine and possession of marijuana for distribution, according to a news release sent Monday from the office of a United States attorney.
Gregory Woods, 38, admitted during his hearing that on June 8, 2011 he arranged to sell a confidential informant an ounce of cocaine through calls made on his cell phone, according to the release from the office of U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin. The confidential informant went to Woods' home in Charleston and bought the drug. Officers then executed a search warrant at the home on Early Street and found 13.9 grams of cocaine, 176 grams of marijuana, and a gun.
Woods faces up to nine years imprisonment when he is sentenced on Jan. 4, 2016.
