Tavoyn Billy Morrison, a 26-year-old resident of Huntington, pleaded guilty on Mar. 30 to the distribution of cocaine base, also known as crack. According to court documents and statements made in court, Morrison sold approximately three grams of crack cocaine for $200 to a confidential informant at a Huntington residence on July 31, 2025.
