United States Attorneys announced that a former Johnstown man entered guilty pleas in federal court to a lesser offense connected with a drug distribution ring that was located in Western Pennsylvania.
41-year-old Anthony Andrews was one of 31 people indicted in August of 2021 for distributing over a kilo of heroin, more than five kilos of cocaine, over 280 grams of crack, over 400 grams of fentanyl, and over 550 grams of methamphetamine through the Johnstown region and beyond. The investigation into the drug ring included assistance from the Indiana Borough Police and the county’s District Attorney’s office. One of the group that was arrested was Ruby Gil of Indiana, who pleaded guilty as well to reduced charges in late March.
Sentencing for Andrews will be held on January 16th of next year. He faces a federal prison sentence of up to 20 years, a fine of $1 million or both.
