Two sentenced for drug trafficking in federal court
An Allegheny County man and another from Beaver County were sentenced in federal court for their participation in a large-scale cocaine trafficking case involving deals between Warren, Ohio, and Washington.
U.S. District Judge Terence F. McVerry Dec. 5 sentenced Terrell Williams, 35, of McKeesport, and Josh Williams, 33, of Aliquippa, to 70 months in prison, U.S. Attorney David J. Hickton announced in Pittsburgh.
The two men, who are not related, conspired with others to distribute the drug between January 2011 and January 2012 in a case that involved a long-term investigation using wiretaps and cellphones seized from several members of the operation. In all, 20 people pleaded guilty in the case, which led to other arrests in a large-scale heroin network between Detroit, Mich., and Washington.
