Pittsburgh Man Gets 7+ Years in Prison for Cocaine, Heroin Conspiracy
A Pittsburgh man has been sentenced to 87 months in federal prison for conspiring to distribute at least 500 grams of cocaine and at least 100 grams of heroin in Western Pennsylvania, according to federal authorities.
Chaz Lloyd, 30, was sentenced by Chief United States District Judge Joy Flowers Conti. Judge Conti also sentenced Lloyd to serve four years of supervised release following his prison sentence.
Lloyd was involved in the distribution of multiple ounces to kilogram quantities of cocaine and brick quantities of heroin, the court was informed. Assistant United States Attorneys Katherine A. King and Craig W. Haller prosecuted this case on behalf of the United States.
The investigation that led to Lloyd’s conviction was conducted by a task force led by the Drug Enforcement Administration. The task force included several other federal, state, and local agencies from multiple states, including the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, the United States Marshals Service, the Pennsylvania State Police, the Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office, the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police, the Allegheny County Police Department, the Penn Hills Police Department, the Monroeville Police Department, and the McKees Rocks Police Department.
The investigation was funded by the federal Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force Program (OCDETF). The OCDETF program supplies critical federal funding and coordination that allows federal and state agencies to work together to successfully identify, investigate, and prosecute major interstate and international drug trafficking organizations and other criminal enterprises.
Lloyd’s prison sentence is the result of a concerted effort by law enforcement agencies to combat the flow of illicit narcotics into Western Pennsylvania. His conviction serves as a reminder of the serious consequences that come with engaging in this type of criminal activity.
