PITTSBURGH, PA - A former resident of Clairton,
Pennsylvania, has been sentenced in federal court to nine years’ imprisonment,
followed by 10 years’ supervised release, on his conviction of conspiring to
distribute narcotics and unlawful possession of firearms, United States
Attorney Scott W. Brady announced today.
United States District Judge Arthur J. Schwab imposed the
sentence on Elliot Page, 38.
According to information presented to the court, Page
supplied fentanyl to his codefendants, Skyler Carter and Cecil Shields, and
others, for further distribution in the Clairton area. Agents seized
approximately one kilogram of fentanyl and three firearms during the execution
of a federal search warrant at Page’s residence on July 6, 2017. Page had three
prior felony drug offenses and was forbidden from possessing a firearm.
Assistant United States Attorney Carolyn J. Bloch prosecuted
this case on behalf of the government.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation led the multi-agency
investigation of this case, which also included the Allegheny County Sheriff’s
Office, the Allegheny County Police Department, and the Pittsburgh Bureau of
Police. 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.
