CLARKSBURG, W.VA.- Yesterday, a 26-year-old Detroit man learned he is facing up to 20 years after pleading guilty for his role in a West Virginia drug trafficking organization.
On Monday, December 16, 2024, Michael Robison-Brown, 26, of Detroit, Michigan, appeared in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia and pleaded guilty before U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael John Aloi to one count of Distribution of Methamphetamine.
According To The U.S. Attorney’s Office
According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Zelda Wesley and charging documents filed with the District Court, Robison-Brown was one of the leaders of a large-scale drug trafficking organization that operated within the Northern District of West Virginia, specifically within the Monongalia County communities.
During Monday’s plea hearing, Robinson-Brown admitted he would supply quantities of methamphetamine that would be distributed to others to sell.
   Following entering his plea on Monday, Judge Aloi accepted the plea and scheduled sentencing for a time and date to be determined by the U.S. District Court.

The actual term of imprisonment will be determined by a U.S. District Court Judge based on the seriousness of the offense and Robinson-Brown’s prior criminal history.
