HARRISBURG – A Lebanon County man is facing federal charges for allegedly distributing over 500 grams of cocaine and illegally possessing a firearm as a convicted felon.
Angel Lopez-Guzman, 37, of Lebanon, PA, was indicted yesterday by a federal grand jury on charges related to the distribution of controlled substances and unlawful possession of firearms, according to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
According to United States Attorney Gerard M. Karam, the indictment alleges that Lopez-Guzman possessed over 500 grams of cocaine with the intent to distribute. It also alleges that Lopez-Guzman illegally possessed a firearm as a convicted felon and possessed a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking, in Lebanon County, on January 5, 2024.
This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Lebanon County Drug Task Force. Assistant United States Attorney Michael Scalera is prosecuting the case.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
The maximum penalty Lopez-Guzman faces under federal law for these offenses is up to life in prison, a term of supervised release following imprisonment, and a fine. 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.
