Pittsburgh Teen Charged with Fentanyl Trafficking
A Pittsburgh teen has been charged with fentanyl trafficking and gun offenses in a federal indictment announced today by Acting United States Attorney Soo C. Song.
Sidney Pack, 18, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was named as the sole defendant in the two-count indictment, which was returned on February 21 and unsealed today.
According to the indictment, on or about December 31, 2016, Pack possessed with the intent to distribute a quantity of a mixture and substance containing a detectable amount of fentanyl, a Schedule II controlled substance.
Additionally, Pack possessed a .40 caliber Glock pistol, in furtherance of said drug trafficking crime.
The law provides for a maximum total sentence of not less than 5 years and up to life in prison, a fine of $1,000,000 or both. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed would be based upon the seriousness of the offenses and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant.
Assistant United States Attorney Amy L. Johnston is prosecuting this case on behalf of the government.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the City of Pittsburgh Police Department conducted the investigation leading to the indictment in this case. This case is being prosecuted under Project Safe Neighborhoods, a collaborative effort by federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, prosecutors and communities to prevent, deter and prosecute gun crime.
An indictment is an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
