PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania – Eliot Gentry, Daivahn Brown, Donald Jeter, William McCree, Teqwan Scott, Donald Snowden, and Kailin Stewart, have been indicted by a federal grand jury in Pittsburgh for narcotics trafficking.

The indictment, returned on October 11 and yesterday, charges the seven defendants with conspiring to possess with intent to distribute and distribute at least 100 grams of fluorofentanyl, 40 grams of fentanyl, five kilograms of cocaine, 28 grams of cocaine base, and a quantity of methamphetamine, from May 2021 to October 2022.

“My office is committed to working in partnership with federal, state, and local law enforcement to dismantle large-scale drug trafficking conspiracies,” said U.S. Attorney Cindy K. Chung.

“These arrests disrupted a violent drug trafficking organization; a top priority within our mission,” said FBI Pittsburgh Special Agent in Charge Mike Nordwall.

“The rise of fentanyl has ripped through Western Pennsylvania, and our office is determined to hold those who profit from these narcotics accountable to the law. Close collaboration with our law enforcement partners has shut down this ring of drug traffickers and led to this indictment,” said Attorney General Josh Shapiro.

The law provides for a sentence of at least 10 years and up to life in prison and a fine of up to $10,000,000.

The defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
