JOHNSTOWN, Pa. – A resident of North Braddock, Pa., pleaded
guilty in federal court to a charge of conspiracy, United States Attorney Scott
W. Brady announced today.
Robert Dillard, 46, pleaded guilty to one count before
United States District Judge Kim R. Gibson.
In connection with the guilty plea, between March 30, 2018,
and April 4, 2018, Dillard conspired with others to possess with the intent to
distribute 500 grams or more of a mixture and substance containing a detectable
amount of cocaine.
Judge Gibson scheduled sentencing for February 18, 2020. The
law provides for a maximum total sentence of 40 years in prison, a fine of
$5,000,000, or both. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual
sentence imposed would be based upon the seriousness of the offense and the
prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant.
Assistant United States Attorney Arnold P. Bernard is
prosecuting this case on behalf of the government.
The Laurel Highlands Resident Agency of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation conducted the investigation that led to the prosecution of
Dillard.
