CLARKSBURG, W.Va. — A Pennsylvania woman faces up to 20-years in federal prison after her conviction by a jury for possession with intent to distribute heroin and fentanyl.

Members of the Greater Harrison Drug Task Force watched Jalisa Lashae Hawkins, 35, of Duquesne, Pennsylvania, at a Clarksburg residence that was under surveillance due to complaints of drug activity. Hawkins was seen interacting with someone at the home and leaving.

Officers continued to follow Hawkins and conducted a traffic stop after she committed multiple traffic violations.

During that stop she was found with fentanyl stamps and heroin.

A sentencing date has not been set.
