SCRANTON—Shawn Isom, a 45-year-old man from Scranton, Pennsylvania, was sentenced to 70 months in prison for heroin trafficking in Lackawanna County.
According to U.S. Attorney Bruce D. Brandler, Isom pleaded guilty to possession with the intent to distribute between 80 and 100 grams of heroin, which is equivalent to approximately 3,000-4,000 retail bags of heroin, in September 2015.
Isom committed the crime while on supervised release for a previous federal drug conspiracy.
U.S. District Court Judge Robert D. Mariani imposed a 50-month prison sentence for the heroin trafficking offense and added a 20-month prison sentence for Isom’s supervised release violation.
In addition to his prison sentence, Isom was also ordered to serve six years on supervised release following his prison sentence.
The investigation was conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Pennsylvania State Police, and the Scranton Police.
Assistant United States Attorney Francis P. Sempa prosecuted the case.
This case was brought as part of a district-wide initiative to combat the nationwide epidemic regarding the use and distribution of heroin.
