PITTSBURGH, PA – A resident of West Mifflin, Pennsylvania,
has been sentenced in federal court to three years’ probation, the first 180
days of which are to be served under home detention, and 75 hours of community
service on her conviction of conspiracy to distribute narcotics, United States
Attorney Scott W. Brady announced today.
United States District Judge Arthur J. Schwab imposed the
sentence on Jammie Fridley, age 49. According to information presented to the
court, Fridley, from March through June 2017, regularly purchased fentanyl and
other drugs for personal use and distribution, and was responsible for the
distribution of between 32 and 40 grams of fentanyl. In light of her history of
drug abuse, the court ordered her to complete drug treatment and mental health
programs during the probationary period imposed. Fridley is the fifth of the 21
defendants charged in the conspiracy to be sentenced.
Assistant United States Attorney Carolyn J. Bloch is
prosecuting this case on behalf of the government.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation led the multi-agency
investigation of this case, which also included the Allegheny County Sheriff’s
Office, the Allegheny County Police Department, and the Pittsburgh Bureau of
Police. The investigation was funded by the federal Organized Crime Drug
Enforcement Task Force Program (OCDETF). The OCDETF program supplies critical
federal funding and coordination that allows federal and state agencies to work
together to successfully identify, investigate, and prosecute major interstate
and international drug trafficking organizations and other criminal
enterprises.
