A former Johnstown man was sentenced in federal court earlier this week for drug possession and distribution charges.
41-year-old Anthony Andrews was sentenced on Thursday to charges of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance and possession with intent to deliver for a case that went from April of 2019 to July of 2021 in Cambria and Indiana Counties. The drugs he was accused of possessing and distributing was a mix that contained a “detectable amount of fentanyl”, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Western PA District office. Along with federal and Cambria County agencies, investigators were assisted by the Indiana County DA’s Office and Indiana Borough Police.
Andrews was one of thirty people that were indicted in a drug ring bust in August of 2021 that included 30-year-old Ruby Gil of Indiana and others from across Pennsylvania, and people from Middletown, Delaware and Long Beach, California. The group is accused of distributing over five kilos of cocaine, a kilo of heroin, over 280 grams of crack, over 400 grams of fentanyl and over 550 grams of meth.
Gibson was sentenced to a total of 30 months in prison and four years of probation after that.
Gil was sentenced in November of last year to serve 9 years in prison followed by four years of probation after that.
