New Brighton Man Faces Federal Charges for Deadly Carfentanil Dealings
A 29-year-old New Brighton man has been charged with dealing carfentanil that resulted in the death of one person and serious bodily injury to another, according to federal authorities.
Reginald Davis, 29, was indicted by a federal grand jury in Pittsburgh on three counts of violating federal narcotics laws, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Soo C. Song.
According to the indictment, on December 17, 2016, Davis possessed with intent to distribute and distributed carfentanil that caused the death of one person and the serious bodily injury of another. Davis is also charged with possessing with the intent to distribute, and distributing, additional quantities of carfentanil.
The law provides for a maximum total sentence of up to life in prison, a fine of not more than $1,000,000 or both. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed would be based upon the seriousness of the offense and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant.
The investigation was led by the Drug Enforcement Agency and the New Brighton Area Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Tonya S. Goodman and Timothy M. Lanni are prosecuting this case on behalf of the government.
An indictment is an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
