HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – A Charleston woman who took part in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine in 2019 was sentenced today to 10 months in federal prison and four years of supervised release.  Kathryn Elizabeth Casto, 35, previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine.  

According to court documents, Casto admitted that, between April and September of 2019, she conspired with multiple individuals to distribute methamphetamine.  During the conspiracy, Casto repeatedly obtained quantities of methamphetamine which were transported from Akron, Ohio to various locations in West Virginia.  Casto would in turn supply other drug dealers with methamphetamine that would be sold in the Huntington and Charleston areas.  Casto admitted that she was aware some of her customers intended to distribute the methamphetamine she provided.
