Cumberland Co. duo indicted for Gun, Drug Smuggling

HARRISBURG, PA – In a grim揭示 of the Cumberland County’s underworld, Marty Robinson, 46, and Jordan Brown, 35, both residents of Cumberland County, were charged by a federal grand jury on May 8, 2024, for firearms and drug trafficking offenses. According to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, the men are accused of conspiracy, false statements in firearm acquisition, and possession of deadly drugs.

The indictment claims that Brown purchased a firearm for Robinson, lying to a licensed dealer about his identity as the actual buyer on June 5, 2023. Robinson is also charged with possessing fentanyl, heroin, and cocaine with intent to distribute, as well as carrying a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking.

Investigation into this case was a joint effort by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Carlisle Bureau of Police. Assistant U.S. Attorney K. Wesley (Wes) Mishoe is handling the prosecution.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), which aims to reduce violent crime and gun violence across communities. It also falls under the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, targeting unlawful firearm trafficking and straw-purchasing practices.

Robinson faces life imprisonment under federal law for his crimes, while Brown could serve up to 15 years in prison. Sentencing will be determined by a judge after considering federal sentencing guidelines.

As the investigation unfolds, it’s clear that Cumberland County’s streets are no longer safe from the reach of the criminal underworld. The community awaits justice with bated breath.
