William Rosario, Heroin Trafficking, Pennsylvania 2017

In a recent crackdown on heroin trafficking, a New York City man has been sentenced to prison for his role in transporting the deadly drug to Western Pennsylvania.

William Rosario, 25, of New York, NY, was sentenced to 2 ½ years’ imprisonment in federal court for his conviction of conspiracy to distribute heroin, announced United States Attorney Scott W. Brady.

According to information presented to the court, from in and around November 2016 through in and around February 2017, Rosario conspired with his codefendants, David Francis and Jose Ortega, to possess with intent to distribute and distribute 100 grams or more of heroin, which he transported from New York to the Western District of Pennsylvania.

Assistant United States Attorney Tonya Sulia Goodman prosecuted this case on behalf of the government.

United States Attorney Brady commended the Drug Enforcement Administration, Monroeville Police Department, Stowe Township Police Department, Ingram Borough Police Department, Pennsylvania State Police, and Monaca Police Department for the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of Rosario.

The sentence was deemed sufficient but not greater than necessary to achieve the goals of sentencing by United States District Judge Joy Flowers Conti.
