PITTSBURGH, PA - A resident of Akron, Ohio, has been
indicted by a federal grand jury in Pittsburgh on a charge of drug trafficking,
United States Attorney Scott W. Brady announced today.
The one-count Indictment, returned on Sept. 25 and unsealed
today, named Oshay Love, 28, as the sole defendant.
According to the indictment, on July 23, 2019, Love
possessed with the intent to distribute fentanyl, and over $700 in cash that
was seized from the defendant’s red Chevy Blazer. The court was further
informed that the defendant attempted to evade arrest in the parking lot of the
Monroeville Hampton Inn by fleeing in his vehicle, damaging multiple police
vehicles, and jumping off a cliff before he was apprehended.
The law provides for a maximum total sentence of 20 years in
prison, a fine of $1,000,000 or both. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines,
the actual sentence imposed would be based upon the seriousness of the offense
and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant.
Assistant United States Attorney Rebecca L. Silinski is
prosecuting this case on behalf of the government.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Pennsylvania Office
of the Attorney General, and the Monroeville, Elizabeth, and Wilkinsburg Police
Departments conducted the investigation leading to the Indictment in this case.
An indictment is an accusation. A defendant is presumed
innocent unless and until proven guilty.
