PITTSBURGH – A resident of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has
been sentenced in federal court to five years’ (60 months’) imprisonment and
four years’ supervised release on his conviction of conspiracy to possess with
intent to distribute 40 grams or more of fentanyl, United States Attorney Scott
W. Brady announced today.
Chief United States District Judge Mark R. Hornak imposed
the sentence on Adrian Jordan, 29.
According to information presented to the court, the charges
in this case resulted from a wiretap investigation conducted by the FBI and
other law enforcement partners. During the investigation, the defendant was
intercepted over a wiretapped phone discussing drug transactions. Furthermore,
in connection with the investigation, fentanyl was recovered from the defendant
on both December 16, 2016 and February 24, 2017.
Assistant United States Attorney Robert C. Schupansky
prosecuted this case on behalf of the government.
This prosecution was part of a 12-month investigation by the
FBI Greater Pittsburgh Safe Streets Task Force (GPSSTF), which targeted a large
scale Drug Trafficking Organization operating in Butler, Beaver and Allegheny
Counties. The GPSSTF is comprised of dedicated law enforcement professionals
from the Wilkinsburg Police Department, Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Bureau
of Narcotics Investigations, Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office, Allegheny
County Police Department, Pittsburgh Bureau of Police and the FBI. The GPSSTF
and the United States Attorney’s Office, Western District of Pennsylvania,
would like to recognize the significant contributions made to this
investigation by the Pennsylvania State Police, United States Postal Inspection
Service, Cranberry Township Police Department and the New Brighton Police
Department.
