William Krszal, Conspiring to Distribute Methamphetamine and Molly, Pennsylvania 2014
A Pittsburgh-area man has admitted to selling party drugs at music festivals and concerts. William Krszal, a 23-year-old resident of Allegheny County, was convicted of conspiring to distribute a mixture of methamphetamine and 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, also known as 'molly', on December 18, 2014.
Krszal pleaded guilty before United States District Judge David S. Cercone, who scheduled sentencing for December 18, 2014, at 11 a.m. According to court documents, Krszal agreed with his supplier to distribute the mixture of methamphetamine and molly in the Pittsburgh area, including at various concerts and music festivals.
The law provides for a maximum total sentence of up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $1,000,000. The actual sentence imposed would be based upon the seriousness of the offense and Krszal's prior criminal history, if any.
Assistant United States Attorney Craig W. Haller is prosecuting this case on behalf of the United States. A multi-agency investigation led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office involved the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, the Moon Township Police Department, the North Fayette Police Department, the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police, the Allegheny County Sheriff's Office, the Pennsylvania State Police, the McKees Rocks Police Department, the Cranberry Township Police Department, the McKeesport Police Department, and the Wilkinsburg Police Department.
Krszal's decision to plead guilty could result in a reduced sentence. However, the exact sentence will be determined by Judge Cercone based on the severity of the offense and Krszal's prior record.
The case highlights the ongoing struggle with substance abuse and the importance of law enforcement's efforts to combat the distribution of illicit drugs. As this case moves forward, it is clear that the consequences of such crimes can be severe.
The incident serves as a reminder of the risks associated with attending music festivals and concerts, where the presence of illicit substances can be a significant concern. Law enforcement agencies must remain vigilant in their efforts to prevent the distribution of such substances and protect the public.
