Former Pittsburgh resident Daniel Curtis Simon, 35, has been sentenced to six years in prison for his role in distributing fentanyl in the Pittsburgh area.
According to court documents, on December 1, 2017, Simon distributed over 20 grams of fentanyl along with boxes of ‘stamp bags’ to an informant working with agents from the Pennsylvania State Police and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
The informant reported that the quantity of fentanyl Simon distributed was sufficient to fill over 1,000 individual dosage units of fentanyl.
Simon pleaded guilty in June 2021 to charges of distributing a quantity of fentanyl.
Senior United States District Judge Nora B. Fischer imposed the six-year sentence on Simon, who will also be under the supervision of the United States Probation Office for six years following his release from incarceration.
Assistant United States Attorney Jerome A. Moschetta prosecuted the case on behalf of the government.
Acting United States Attorney Stephen R. Kaufman commended the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Pennsylvania State Police for their investigation and successful prosecution of Simon.
Daniel Curtis Simon was taken into custody by the United States Marshals pending transfer to a federal Bureau of Prisons facility.
