Elizabeth Leighton Mullins, 46 of Huntington Given 57 Months Drug and Gun Crimes

United States Attorney Mike Stuart announced that Elizabeth Leighton Mullins, 46, was sentenced to 57 months in federal prison for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm.

“This meth dealer and user is going to federal prison for almost five years,” said the United States Attorney Mike Stuart. “Federal law prohibits unlawful drug users from possessing firearms.”

Mullins previously pled guilty and admitted that on February 13, 2019, in a residence at 1352 Charleston Ave. in Huntington, she possessed plastic baggies containing approximately 69 grams of methamphetamine, a loaded SCCY CPX-1 9mm pistol, and a loaded Ruger LCP II .380 caliber pistol.  Mullins later admitted that the methamphetamine was hers and that she intended to sell it.  Mullins also admitted that she was an unlawful user of methamphetamine which prohibited her from possessing the firearms.

United States District Judge Robert C. Chambers imposed the sentence.  Assistant United States Attorney Ryan A. Keefe handled the prosecution.

This case is being prosecuted as part of the Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) program, the centerpiece of the Department of Justice’s violent crime reduction efforts.  PSN is an evidence-based program proven to be effective at reducing violent crime. Through PSN, a broad spectrum of stakeholders work together to identify the most pressing violent crime problems in the community and develop comprehensive solutions to address them. As part of this strategy, PSN focuses enforcement efforts on the most violent offenders and partners with locally-based prevention and reentry programs for lasting reductions in crime.
