A former Indiana man was sentenced to serve time in federal prison and probation after that for drug and money laundering related crimes.
On Wednesday, Senior U.S. Judge Kim Gibson ordered Ahmed “Med” Doumbia to serve 97 months in federal prison and four years of probation at a sentencing hearing in the federal court in Johnstown. According to U.S. Attorney Cindy Chung in a news release, Doumbia conspired with others to distribute meth, fentanyl, and crack cocaine between July of 2018 and May of 2020, and for laundering money during that same time period. The case was the result of an investigation by the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force, which is headed by the FBI and included members of the FBI Safe Streets Task Force, Homeland Security, ATF, State Police and Indiana Borough Police.
Doumbia was one member of a drug ring that transported drugs from Philadelphia to Indiana County. He along with 29-year-old Malik Beyers and Jehlan Williams of Philadelphia made multiple trips to Philadelphia to pick up large quantities of crack cocaine and other drugs, and brought it back to “trap locations” where it would be distributed to drug purchasers and street-level dealers.
