ERIE, PA — A former resident of Titusville, Pennsylvania, has been sentenced in federal court to 120 months in jail on her conviction of violating federal drug laws, announced United States Attorney Cindy K. Chung.

United States District Judge Susan Paradise Baxter imposed the sentence Wednesday on Sarah Umanita Bloom, 31.

According to information presented to the court, from in and around June 2018, to on or about February 28, 2020, Bloom conspired with co-defendants to possess with intent to distribute and distributed five hundred grams or more of a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of methamphetamine as they participated in a methamphetamine distribution network that trafficked methamphetamine from Akron, Ohio and Erie, Pennsylvania into Crawford, Venango and Warren Counties.
