Pittsburgh Heroin Trafficker Gets 7-Year Sentence

A 19-year-old Pittsburgh man has been sentenced to 87 months in prison for his role in a heroin trafficking ring, according to the United States Attorney’s office.

Brady Hall, a resident of Pittsburgh, was sentenced by United States District Judge Cathy Bissoon for violating federal narcotic laws. Hall had previously pled guilty to conspiracy to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute 100 grams or more heroin, possession with the intent to distribute a quantity of heroin, and employment of juveniles to distribute heroin.

According to the court, Hall agreed to accept responsibility for between 700 and 1,000 grams of heroin. The court also learned that Hall conspired with his co-defendants, Jay Germany, Jaquan Washington, and others, to possess with the intent to distribute and distribute heroin. Germany and Washington have both pled not guilty, while uncharged co-conspirators Andre Corbett and Sterling Marshall have pled guilty. Corbett was sentenced to 10 years in prison, and Marshall was sentenced to 12 years in prison.

Hall operated a heroin ‘stash house’ in Homestead, where he used runners, including juvenile runners as young as 15 years old, to deliver heroin to customers. The court also learned that Germany operated the ‘customer phone,’ where retail heroin customers would call Germany to arrange a heroin transaction. Once the transaction had been finalized, Germany would call either Washington or Hall to deliver the heroin to the customer.

On October 30, 2012, a heroin customer arranged to purchase 100 stamp bags of heroin from Germany at the Giant Eagle on the Waterfront in Homestead. Germany drove Hall to complete the deal at Giant Eagle. Hall met the customer in the Giant Eagle bathroom and provided the customer with the 100 stamp bags of heroin. Law enforcement, who had been intercepting the telephone conversations of Germany, monitored this transaction and later conducted a traffic stop of the customer as he drove away. Law enforcement recovered the purchased heroin from the customer.

Assistant United States Attorney Eric S. Rosen prosecuted this case on behalf of the government. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General, City of Pittsburgh Bureau of Police, Pennsylvania State Police, Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office, McKeesport Police Department, Munhall Police Department, and the West Homestead Police Department conducted the investigation that led to the prosecution, conviction, and sentencing of Brady Hall.
