Jeffries pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance, fentanyl, in Kanawha County Circuit Court on September 14, 2026.

At the time of this offense, Jeffries was serving a term of supervised release following his conviction for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, heroin, and fentanyl in United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia on August 27, 2019. Jeffries began his term of supervised release on September 12, 2025, six days before his arrest.
