HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Jordan Lee Jobe, 30, of Leon, received a sentence of two years and nine months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for her involvement in a heroin distribution conspiracy.

According to court documents and statements made in court, between April 2022 and September 25, 2022, Jobe and Edward Daniel Walker Jr. conspired to distribute heroin in Mason County's Leon area. Jobe admitted to distributing heroin to Walker and transporting him to obtain heroin.

On September 25, 2022, law enforcement conducted a traffic stop on Interstate 64 near Hurricane, where Jobe was driving. A search of the vehicle uncovered approximately 105 grams of suspected heroin and a firearm. Jobe confessed to intending to sell the heroin.

Later that day, officers executed a search warrant at a Barboursville motel room where Jobe was staying. They seized approximately 204 grams of suspected heroin, two firearms, and $1,000. Jobe admitted the heroin was intended for sale and that the cash was from previous drug sales.

On March 31, 2023, officers executed another search warrant at a residence on Durham Road in Leon, resulting in the arrest of Jobe and Walker. Officers found approximately 135 grams of suspected heroin and $2,000 on Walker. Both men admitted to intending to sell the heroin.

Walker, also known as "Jetty," 39, of Columbus, Ohio, was sentenced on October 23, 2023, to six years and six months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, after pleading guilty to the conspiracy charge.
