London Pinkins, Cocaine, Fentanyl, Heroin Trafficking, Pennsylvania 2021

A Sharon, Pennsylvania resident has pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute large quantities of cocaine, fentanyl, and heroin in the state.

London Pinkins, 29, pleaded guilty to two counts in federal court: conspiring to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine, 400 grams or more of fentanyl, and 100 grams or more of heroin between June 2020 and June 2021, and conspiring to launder drug trafficking proceeds between February 2021 and June 2021.

The guilty pleas were entered before United States District Judge Cathy Bissoon in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Pinkins faces a maximum total sentence of not less than 10 years and up to life in prison, a fine of up to $10 million, or both, under the federal Sentencing Guidelines.

Assistant United States Attorneys Benjamin C. Dobkin and Craig W. Haller are prosecuting this case on behalf of the United States.

The investigation that led to the prosecution of Pinkins was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Drug Enforcement Administration, Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Pennsylvania State Police, Lawrence County Drug Task Force, Mercer County Drug Task Force, New Castle Police Department, Sharon Police Department, Hermitage Police Department, and Farrell Police Department.

This prosecution is a result of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) investigation, which identifies, disrupts, and dismantles high-level drug traffickers, money launderers, gangs, and transnational criminal organizations that threaten communities throughout the United States.

The investigation leverages the strengths of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies against criminal networks.

Pinkins is scheduled to be sentenced on October 1, 2024.
