Carrie Robinson, Distributing Heroin, Pennsylvania 2015

Pittsburgh Woman Guilty in Heroin Distribution Conspiracy

In a shocking turn of events, Carrie Robinson, 45, of Pittsburgh, has pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute heroin, a crime that has left many in the community reeling.

According to court documents, Robinson agreed to distribute her son’s remaining heroin while he was incarcerated at the Allegheny County Jail on a heroin distribution charge in late March and early April 2014. The son, who was also charged with heroin distribution, is currently behind bars.

The guilty plea, which was entered on February 1, 2015, in front of United States District Judge Mark R. Hornak, marks a significant milestone in the ongoing battle against heroin trafficking in the Pittsburgh area.

Assistant United States Attorney Craig W. Haller is prosecuting the case on behalf of the United States. The Drug Enforcement Administration, the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police, the Allegheny County Police, the Baldwin Police, the Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office, and the Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office conducted the investigation leading to the conviction.

Robinson is scheduled to be sentenced on May 26, 2015, at 9:30 a.m. The law provides for a maximum total sentence of up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $1,000,000. 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.

The conviction is a stark reminder of the devastating effects of heroin addiction and the need for continued efforts to combat the heroin trade in the Pittsburgh area.
