Vincent Carter, Fentanyl Trafficking, Pennsylvania 2021

SCRANTON – Vincent Carter, a 36-year-old man from Nanticoke, Pennsylvania, has been sentenced to 96 months’ imprisonment followed by a three-year term of supervised release for drug trafficking offenses.

According to Acting U.S. Attorney Bruce D. Brandler, Carter distributed fentanyl on multiple occasions in March 2019, in Nanticoke, Pennsylvania. After a search of his residence and vehicle, additional amounts of fentanyl and narcotics packaging were recovered.

The case was investigated by the Kingston Police Department, the Nanticoke Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Assistant United States Attorney Geoffrey W. MacArthur prosecuted the case.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program that has been historically successful in bringing together all levels of law enforcement to reduce violent crime and make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.

The case is also part of a district-wide initiative to combat the nationwide epidemic regarding the use and distribution of heroin. Led by the United States Attorney’s Office, 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 to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who commit heroin-related offenses.

On March 4, 2021, Vincent Carter was sentenced to 96 months’ imprisonment by U.S. District Court Judge Malachy E. Mannion.

As part of the sentencing, Carter will serve three years of supervised release following his imprisonment.
