Darrelle Davon Boynton, also known as “D,” aged 40 and from Huntington, was sentenced to seven years and one month in prison for distributing methamphetamine and violating the terms of his supervised release. Following his prison term, he will be under three years of supervised release.
Court records indicate that on April 23, 2025, Boynton sold about 56 grams of methamphetamine to a confidential informant in a parking lot in Huntington. He admitted to organizing and carrying out this transaction. In his guilty plea, Boynton also acknowledged selling approximately 57 grams of methamphetamine on April 29, 2025, and about 8.32 grams of heroin mixed with fentanyl on May 8, 2025—each time to a confidential informant in Huntington.
At the time these offenses occurred, Boynton was already on supervised release following an earlier conviction for distribution of heroin and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. That conviction took place in the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia on August 24, 2020. Of the new sentence handed down today, one year and three months are specifically for committing another crime while on supervised release.
United States Attorney Moore Capito made the announcement and recognized the efforts of both the Huntington Violent Crime and Drug Task Force and the Huntington Police Department. “United States Attorney Moore Capito made the announcement and commended the investigative work of the Huntington Violent Crime and Drug Task Force and the Huntington Police Department.”
The sentence was imposed by United States District Judge Robert C. Chambers. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Stephanie Taylor.
The prosecution was part of Operation Synthetic Opioid Surge (SOS), which targets reducing synthetic opioid distribution in high-impact areas.
