BECKLEY, W.VA.- Yesterday, a 48-year-old Beckley, West Virginia, woman found out she would be spending nearly the next three years in federal prison after being sentenced for her role in a Beckley, West Virginia, drug trafficking organization.
On Monday, March 17, 2025, Kimberly Rosetta Logan, 48, of Beckley, West Virginia, appeared in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia and was sentenced by Chief U.S. District Court Judge Frank W. Volk to 34 months in federal prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release for her previously entered guilty plea.

Logan had previously pleaded guilty to participating in a drug trafficking organization that distributed quantities of methamphetamine, fentanyl, and crack cocaine throughout the Beckley, West Virginia, area and elsewhere in the Southern District of West Virginia.
According To The U.S. Attorney’s Office
According to Acting U.S. Attorney Lisa G. Johnston and charging documents filed with the District Court, on April 10, 2024, Logan sold a quantity of fentanyl to a confidential informant from her Beckley, West Virginia home, during a controlled buy under the observation of law enforcement investigators.
During her plea allocution, Logan admitted to selling the fentanyl to the confidential informant on April 10, 2024, and further admitted to distributing additional amounts of fentanyl and cocaine to other individuals while consuming some herself throughout May 2024. Logan also admitted to ordering an average of eight grams of fentanyl and four grams of cocaine per week from her Beckley-based supplier by phone during that time, receiving the drugs at her residence.
In handing down the sentence on Monday, Judge Volk noted Logan’s lengthy criminal history, including prior felony convictions for battery, controlled substance offenses, obstruction of an officer, and numerous lower offenses of shoplifting.
Logan was among twelve individuals federally indicted on charges that the defendants conspired to distribute methamphetamine, fentanyl, and crack cocaine within the Southern District of West Virginia from around June 2023 through the time of their arrests in May 2024. All twelve have pleaded guilty, including two defendants who pleaded guilty to separate charges in lieu of the charges in the indictment.
Acting U.S. Attorney commended the investigative work of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and the Beckley/Raleigh County Drug and Violent Crime Unit, which led to the successful prosecution of Logan and the other defendants, in this case.
