A Philadelphia man involved in the Philadelphia-to-Indiana County Drug Trafficking Network was sentenced earlier today in federal court.
Court documents report that 29-year-old Malik Byers will serve 70 months in prison along with four years of supervised release for charges of distributing drugs and money laundering in connection with the trafficking of multiple substances – including methamphetamine, heroin, fentanyl and crack cocaine.
A criminal complaint was filed against Byers last year, which led to his arrest. Upon investigation, it was discovered that Byers – along with Jelahn Williams of Philadelphia and Ahmed Doumbia of Indiana – made multiple trips to Philadelphia where they bought large quantities of crack cocaine and brought it back to so-called “trap locations” – including the apartment of Romello Johnson-Holland of Indiana – and then distributed the drugs to drug purchasers and street-level dealers.
Byers is just one of 19 people indicted in last year’s incident, in which all defendants were charged with conspiring to distribute and possess with intent to deliver.
