PITTSBURGH, PA — Kenneth Miller, a 62-year-old man from Farrell, Pennsylvania, has pleaded guilty to charges of conspiring to distribute cocaine. The announcement was made on Monday, December 18, 2023, by United States Attorney Eric G. Olshan.

Miller admitted his guilt before United States District Judge Cathy Bissoon. He pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute an unspecified quantity of cocaine between June 2020 and June 2021. Judge Bissoon has scheduled the sentencing for April 10, 2024, at 10:00 a.m.
