A Johnstown woman has admitted to her role in a heroin distribution scheme, according to a guilty plea entered in federal court.
Desalynn L. Coleman, 33, of Johnstown, Pa., pleaded guilty before United States District Judge Kim R. Gibson to distributing less than 100 grams of heroin.
The crime occurred on October 30, 2012, according to court documents.
Coleman faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, a fine of $1,000,000, or both under federal law.
The actual sentence imposed will depend on the seriousness of the offense and Coleman’s prior criminal history, if any.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephanie L. Haines is prosecuting this case on behalf of the government.
The Laurel Highlands Resident Agency of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Cambria County Drug Task Force conducted the investigation that led to Coleman’s prosecution.
