Fayetteville, WV (WOAY) A Beckley man has been sentenced in Fayette County for drug conspiracy and firearm charges.
According to the Fayette County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, 45-year-old Sharrell E. Bell of Beckley will serve 7 years in prison for conspiracy to deliver and possess fentanyl, methamphetamine, and cocaine with the intent to deliver.
