According to the court records, in 2013, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other agencies launched a multi-agency wiretap investigation of drug trafficking and violence in the Homewood section of Pittsburgh. The investigation, which intercepted wire and electronic communications from December 2013 to August 2014, revealed that Anthony Donald conspired with others to possess with intent to distribute and distribute cocaine shipped from California to the Western District of Pennsylvania through the United States Postal Service or commercial carrier.
Assistant United States Attorney Tonya Sulia Goodman prosecuted the case on behalf of the government.
U.S. Attorney Hickton commended the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Greater Pittsburgh Safe Streets Task Force, Wilkinsburg Police Department, Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office, Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General, Munhall Police Department, Duquesne Police Department, Monroeville Police Department, Allegheny County Police Department, West Mifflin Police Department, Bellevue Police Department, and the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police for their work in the case.
The exact date of the sentencing was not specified in the press release. However, based on the provided information, it can be inferred that the case involved a lengthy investigation spanning multiple years. The sentencing of Anthony Donald serves as a reminder of the ongoing efforts to combat cocaine trafficking in the region.
