A 21-year-old Oxford man faces federal charges for his alleged role in a methamphetamine trafficking operation in York County, Pennsylvania.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, Jeffrey Christopher Cerrato was indicted by a federal grand jury on September 1, 2021, for possessing with the intent to distribute approximately one pound of methamphetamine.

The alleged offense occurred on January 14, 2021, in York County, Pennsylvania. Cerrato is accused of possessing the illicit substance with the intent to distribute it.

The York City Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration investigated the case, which is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN). Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul J. Miovas, Jr. is prosecuting the case.
