Jose M. Osorio, III, Crack Cocaine Trafficking, Pennsylvania 2016

York Man Charged with Crack Cocaine Trafficking

HARRISBURG – A 28-year-old man from York County, Pennsylvania, has been indicted for distributing crack cocaine and possessing a firearm as a previously convicted felon.

According to United States Attorney Bruce D. Brandler, Jose M. Osorio, III, distributed crack cocaine on September 22, 2016, in York, Pennsylvania. The indictment also alleges that on December 1, 2016, Osorio unlawfully possessed a .357 caliber revolver and ammunition as a previously convicted felon.

The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the York City Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Carlo D. Marchioli is prosecuting the case.

This case was brought as part of the Violent Crime Reduction Partnership (VCRP), a district-wide initiative to combat the spread of violent crime in the Middle District of Pennsylvania. Led by the United States Attorney’s Office, the VCRP consists of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies whose mission is to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who commit violent crimes with firearms.

Indictments are only allegations. All persons charged are presumed to be innocent unless and until found guilty in court. A sentence following a finding of guilt is imposed by the Judge after consideration of the applicable federal sentencing statutes and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.

The maximum penalty under federal law is twenty years of imprisonment for the drug trafficking offense, ten years of imprisonment for the firearm offense, a term of supervised release following imprisonment, and a fine. For these reasons, the statutory maximum penalty for the offense is not an accurate indicator of the potential sentence for a specific defendant.
