PITTSBURGH – A resident of Allegheny County has been
sentenced in federal court to two-and-a- half years’ (30 months’) imprisonment
and six years of supervised release on his conviction of conspiracy for
possession with intent to distribute a quantity of fentanyl, United States
Attorney Scott W. Brady announced today.
United States District Judge Mark R. Hornak imposed the
sentence on Michael Henry, 37, of McKeesport, PA.
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, it was learned that
Henry, among other things, assisted with the procurement of fentanyl packages
from China, as well as provided locations to which the fentanyl was delivered
in the Western District of Pennsylvania.
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.
