Pittston Man Sentenced To 25 Months In Prison For Heroin Trafficking Conspiracy

A Pittston man has been sentenced to 25 months in prison for his role in a heroin trafficking conspiracy that operated in Luzerne County during 2013 and early 2014.

According to United States Attorney Peter Smith, the defendant, Robert Romasiewicz, previously pleaded guilty to conspiring with Sal Biscotto, also of Pittston, and others to obtain heroin from suppliers in New Jersey and distribute it to customers in Luzerne County.

Biscotto, who also pleaded guilty to participating in the conspiracy, is awaiting sentencing in the case.

Romasiewicz was charged in a criminal information filed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in April 2014, as a result of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Luzerne County District Attorney’s Office, and Pittston Police.

Senior U.S. District Court Judge James M. Munley also ordered that Romasiewicz spend three years on supervised release following his prison sentence, pay a $300 fine and a $100 special assessment.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Francis P. Sempa.

Robert Romasiewicz, who is now 22 years old, faces a lengthy period of supervised release and significant financial penalties as a result of his involvement in the heroin trafficking conspiracy.
