PHILADELPHIA – Kevin Swing, a/k/a “Tone,” 36, of West Chester, PA, received a 6.5-year sentence for selling hundreds of deadly fentanyl pills, camouflaged as prescription oxycodone.
In January 2020, Swing pleaded guilty to conspiracy and distribution charges related to the sale of cyclopropyl fentanyl. He sold over 900 pills imprinted with ‘ETH 446’ to Ryan Menkins for $5,600 in 2018. Menkins’ trial is set for December.
“It’s bad enough when oxycodone is misused, but making deadly fentanyl look like it’s prescription oxycodone is a disaster waiting to happen,” said U.S. Attorney McSwain. “Kevin Swing has contributed to the opioid epidemic and will be kept off our streets.”
Chester County District Attorney Deb Ryan thanked the U.S. Attorney’s office for bringing justice to Chester County residents. Michael J. Driscoll, FBI Special Agent in Charge, emphasized the dangerous nature of drug dealers preying on unsuspecting buyers.
The case was investigated by the FBI and West Whiteland Township Police Department, with prosecution handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew T. Newcomer.
