According to the indictment, Andujar was allegedly involved in a heroin trafficking ring between June and August 2015.

The investigation was conducted by the Scranton Police Department, Special Investigations Division, Lackawanna County District Attorney’s Office, and the DEA. Prosecution is assigned to Assistant United States Attorney Robert J. O’Hara.
Andujar, if found guilty, faces up to 40 years in prison, a term of supervised release following imprisonment, and a fine.
