Three Sentenced in Brooke County Drug Case
Three people were sentenced in Brooke County, West Virginia, after pleading to drug charges, according to the Herald-Star Online. Alicia Nicole Wilson, 35, Wayne Franklin Yoho, 36, and Steven Anthony Michael Conway, 35, each received a sentence of between one and 15 years with the West Virginia Division of Corrections.
The charges stem from an incident on Feb. 24, when the government claimed the three were in a vehicle that was stopped and searched, and 125 grams of methamphetamine was found in the glove box. The charge was possession with intent to deliver a Schedule II controlled substance, as reported by the Herald-Star Online.
The case was prosecuted by the Brooke County Prosecuting Attorney. The West Virginia State Police, Brooke County Sheriff's Department, and Marshall County Drug Task Force were involved in the investigation, according to the report.

How we work
This site models an investigative reporter rather than a wire desk. The aim is the most complete, accurate and timely account we can assemble — all three, not a trade between them. Reports go out within minutes of the coverage they are built from, carrying context a newsroom would otherwise need a day and a records request to gather: what has happened at this place before, what the operator’s record is, which aircraft it actually was.
Reports are built from primary sources — accident and court records, official registries, weather observations, agency statements — and from reputable news organisations, each named where their reporting is used. Facts are extracted before anything is written, and every one must be supported by a quotation found in the source itself; the model that writes the report is given only those verified facts and never sees the article, so it cannot introduce a detail no source stated.
Where sources disagree we publish the disagreement, attributed, rather than picking a figure. Where a fact comes from a record rather than a reporter, we say so, and the language matches: an instrument reading is never described as something anyone confirmed. Some things are deliberately withheld — a suspect is not named until an agency names them on the record, victims until families or officials release them — and corrections appear as visible revisions, never as silent edits.
None of that makes a report true. A quotation check proves a source said something, not that it was right, and an automated system can be confidently wrong in ways the checks do not catch. If something here is wrong, the feedback above is how it gets found. The full methodology, including what we refuse to publish.
