Heroin Dealer Indicted in Harrisburg
A 21-year-old Harrisburg man has been federally indicted for selling heroin, according to a recent announcement by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
Armani V. Carson, of Harrisburg, is accused of distributing and possessing with intent to distribute a controlled substance, specifically heroin, on the streets of Harrisburg in December 2014 and January 2015.
Additionally, Carson faces charges of possessing a firearm by a convicted felon and possessing a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking. The Pennsylvania State Police seized a stolen firearm and additional heroin from Carson’s home in the 1900 block of Bellevue Road on January 6, 2015.
The case is being investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Pennsylvania State Police. Assistant United States Attorney Meredith A. Taylor is prosecuting the case.
‘The charges against Mr. Carson are a result of allegations that he sold heroin on the streets of Harrisburg,’ said United States Attorney Peter Smith. ‘We will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to disrupt and dismantle drug trafficking organizations in our community.’
It is essential to note that indictments and criminal informations are only allegations. All persons charged are presumed to be innocent unless and until found guilty in court.
Carson faces a lifetime of imprisonment, a term of supervised release following imprisonment, and a fine under federal law. The maximum penalty is a stark reminder of the severity of the charges against him.
