SCRANTON – A Philadelphia woman is facing serious charges after allegedly distributing heroin to an inmate at the USP Canaan in Pennsylvania.
Sable Daniel, 27, has been indicted for distribution of heroin and providing an inmate with contraband, according to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
The indictment alleges that Daniel delivered heroin to Russell Whitmore, 33, an inmate at USP Canaan, during a visit at the facility.
The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and officers at USP Canaan. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Sean A. Camoni.
The indictment is part of a district-wide initiative to combat the nationwide epidemic of heroin use and distribution. The Heroin Initiative targets heroin traffickers operating in the Middle District of Pennsylvania and is part of a coordinated effort among federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies.
Indictments are only allegations, and all persons charged are presumed to be innocent until found guilty in court. 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.
The maximum penalty under federal law for this offense is 20 years of imprisonment, a term of supervised release following imprisonment, and a fine. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the Judge is required to consider and weigh a number of factors, including the nature, circumstances, and seriousness of the offense; the history and characteristics of the defendant; and the need to punish the defendant, protect the public, and provide for the defendant’s educational, vocational, and medical needs.
