PITTSBURGH –A resident of Uniontown, Pennsylvania, has been
sentenced in federal court to 120 months’ incarceration, followed by three
years’ supervised release on his conviction of conspiracy to distribute
cocaine, United States Attorney Scott W. Brady announced today.
United States District Judge David S. Cercone imposed the
sentence on Jamal Eddings, age 36.
According to information presented to the court, Eddings was
involved in a large-scale drug distribution ring in the Uniontown area. He
conspired with others to distribute and possess with intent to distribute at
least 100 grams of cocaine.
United States Attorney Brady commended the multi-agency
investigation of this case, which was led by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and included the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Fayette
County Drug Task Force, the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office, the
Pennsylvania State Police, and the United States Postal Inspection Service, for
the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of Eddings. Assistant
United States Attorneys Heidi M. Grogan and Troy Rivetti prosecuted this case
on behalf of the government.
The investigation was funded by the federal Organized Crime
Drug Enforcement Task Force Program (OCDETF). The OCDETF program supplies
critical federal funding and coordination that allows federal and state
agencies to work together to successfully identify, investigate, and prosecute
major interstate and international drug trafficking organizations and other
criminal enterprises.
