Three Admit Roles in Philadelphia Drug Trafficking Organization

CLARKSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA – Three West Virginia residents have admitted their roles in an organization that supplied large quantities of methamphetamine, fentanyl and cocaine to north central West Virginia.

Jordan Spadafore, 33, of Morgantown; Stephanie Miller, 47, of Charleston; and Olivia Gibson, 21, of Ona, pleaded guilty this week to federal drug charges. According to court documents, the three men worked with Rodney Johnson, 46, of Philadelphia, who allegedly supplied large quantities of illegal drugs to Monongalia County.

Assistant United States Attorney Zelda Wesley is prosecuting these cases on behalf of the government.

This case was investigated by the Mon Metro Drug Task Force, an initiative funded by HIDTA. The task force is comprised of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI); the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives; from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA); West Virginia State Police; Monongalia County Sheriff's Office; from the Monongalia County Prosecutor's Office; from the Morgantown Police Department; from the WVU Police Department; from the Granville Police Department; and the Star City Police Department.

This initiative is part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) operation. The OCDETF identifies, disrupts, and dismantles high-level criminal organizations that threaten the United States using a prosecutor-led, intelligence-driven, multi-agency approach. Additional information about the OCDETF program is available at:

U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael John Aloi presided.
