PITTSBURGH, PA- A resident of Clairton, Pennsylvania, has
been sentenced in federal court to seven years and 10 months in prison,
followed by six years’ supervised release, on his conviction of conspiring to
distribute narcotics, United States Attorney Scott W. Brady announced today.
United States District Judge Arthur J. Schwab imposed the
sentence on Kevin Jackson, 35.
According to information presented to the court at the time
he entered a guilty plea, Jackson purchased one or more grams of heroin on a
daily basis from his codefendant, Skyler Carter, for further distribution in
the Clairton area. Jackson and 20 other individuals were charged in the
drug-trafficking conspiracy, and he was held personally responsible for the
distribution of between 100 and 400 grams of heroin.
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. Assistant United States Attorney Carolyn J. Bloch is prosecuting
this case on behalf of the government.
