A ruthless cocaine trafficker has been brought to justice in Allegheny County, with a 55-year-old McKeesport man facing the harsh realities of his crimes. Frank McClellan, 55, was sentenced to 216 months of incarceration, to be followed by five years of supervised release, for violating federal narcotics laws.

Olshan commended the Drug Enforcement Administration, McKeesport Police Department, Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office, Penn Hills Police Department, Allegheny County Police Department, City of Pittsburgh Bureau of Police, and Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office for the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of McClellan.

This case serves as a reminder of the devastating impact of cocaine trafficking on our communities. The cooperation and dedication of law enforcement agencies are crucial in bringing these perpetrators to justice.

McClellan’s sentence is a testament to the commitment of the justice system in holding accountable those who engage in these heinous crimes. As the community continues to grapple with the effects of cocaine trafficking, it is essential to acknowledge the tireless efforts of law enforcement and the courts in fighting this battle.
