Grimy Times has learned that Glen Taormina, a 46-year-old resident of Mount Carmel, Pennsylvania, has been charged with methamphetamine trafficking and heroin distribution. According to a recent indictment, Taormina distributed 50 grams and more of methamphetamine on June 16, 2021.
The indictment also alleges that Taormina possessed with the intent to distribute 50 grams and more of methamphetamine, 40 grams and more of fentanyl, and detectable amounts of heroin on June 17, 2022, in Northumberland County. The indictment also seeks the criminal forfeiture of $10,754 in cash recovered on June 17, 2021.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Drug Enforcement Agency, and the Pennsylvania State Police. Assistant U.S. Attorney George J. Rocktashel is prosecuting the case.
This case is being prosecuted as part of the joint federal, state, and local Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) Program, the centerpiece of the government’s violent crime reduction efforts. PSN is an evidence-based program proven to be effective at reducing violent crime. Through PSN, a broad spectrum of stakeholders work together to identify the most pressing violent crime problems in the community and develop comprehensive solutions to address them.
The maximum penalty under federal law for each of these offenses is 40 years’ imprisonment, a term of supervised release following imprisonment, and a fine. A sentence following a finding of guilt is imposed by the court after consideration of the applicable federal sentencing statutes and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
Indictments are only allegations. All persons charged are presumed to be innocent unless and until found guilty in court.
