Anthony Law, age 36, of Donora, has been indicted by a federal grand jury on a charge of violating federal narcotics laws. The one-count Indictment names Law as the sole defendant.
According to the Indictment, on or about September 21, 2020, Law possessed with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine.
The law provides for a maximum total sentence of not more than 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.
