Ross Landfried, David Curran, Conspiring to Distribute Drugs, Pennsylvania 2019

Two men, Ross Landfried and David Curran, have been convicted of conspiring to distribute Schedule I and II controlled substances in a federal prison system in Pennsylvania.

According to the evidence presented at trial, Landfried, Curran, and their co-conspirators were part of a wide-ranging drug conspiracy between 2017 and 2019. Inmate accounts were used to collect and make payments for the drugs.

The two men, both formerly of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, will be sentenced by United States District Judge J. Nicholas Ranjan on dates to be determined.

Ross Landfried, age 40, was also convicted of conspiring to launder drug trafficking proceeds between 2017 and 2019.

The investigation that led to the conviction was a multi-agency effort led by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Internal Revenue Service, the federal Bureau of Prisons, and the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General.

Assistant United States Attorneys Rebecca L. Silinski and Craig W. Haller are prosecuting this case on behalf of the United States.

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.

Landfried and Curran will face sentencing by Judge J. Nicholas Ranjan on dates to be determined.
