SCRANTON, Pennsylvania – In a shocking case of methamphetamine and heroin trafficking, William Terron, a 38-year-old man from Luzerne County, was sentenced to 9 years in prison for his role in a massive conspiracy.

According to United States Attorney John C. Gurganus, Terron previously pleaded guilty and admitted to participating in a conspiracy to distribute between 1.5 and 5 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine and 1 to 3 kilograms of heroin in Luzerne, Lackawanna and Schuylkill Counties in 2018.

Terron was one of five individuals indicted by a grand jury in December 2018 for methamphetamine trafficking in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

Several other defendants have been sentenced for their roles in this same drug trafficking conspiracy:

Amanda Boyle, age 37, of Sweet Valley, PA, was sentenced to 9 years in prison;
Rudolph Ford, age 33, of Olyphant, PA, was sentenced to 7 years in prison;
Francheska Quinones, age 28, of Nanticoke, PA, was sentenced to 63 months in prison; and

The investigation was conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), the Pennsylvania State Police, the Kingston Police Department, the Luzerne County Drug Task Force, and the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General.
