CLARKSBURG, W.Va. – Deputies from the Harrison County Sheriff’s Department made one arrest and confiscated a pound of methamphetamine and one-half pound of fentanyl Wednesday.
Deputies were on their way to perform a welfare check at a home on Fire Access Road in Wilsonburg when they learned there was a driver slumped over the wheel of a U-Haul truck.
When deputies arrived, they saw Jason Smith, 41, of Clarksburg, in the U-Haul truck with drug paraphernalia in open view and called members of the Greater Harrison Drug Task Force.
Task force members conducted a search of the truck that revealed more than a pound of methamphetamine, one-half pound of fentanyl, nine grams of crack cocaine, five handguns, two AR-15 rifles, scales, and a large amount of cash.
Smith has been charged with three counts of possession with intent to deliver and is in the North Central Regional Jail in lieu of a $25,000 bond.
