WILLIAMSPORT, PA — The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that Naim Taylor, age 25, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was sentenced this week to 96 months of imprisonment on charges related to fentanyl trafficking.
According to United States Attorney Gerard M. Karam, Taylor was the manager of a drug trafficking organization that brought fentanyl from Philadelphia to Williamsport and other areas in the Middle District of Pennsylvania. Taylor previously entered a guilty plea in which he admitted to being responsible for trafficking at least 74 grams of fentanyl, the equivalent of nearly 3,000 individual doses. Taylor’s sentence was enhanced because of his possession of a firearm in connection with these activities.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Pennsylvania State Police. Assistant U.S. Attorney Geoffrey W. MacArthur prosecuted the case.
