HARRISBURG, PA — Terry Clark, a 59-year-old resident of York County, Pennsylvania, has been handed a hefty eight-year sentence for possessing cocaine with intent to distribute. United States District Court Judge Jennifer P. Wilson delivered the sentence on March 7, 2024, marking a significant step in the ongoing battle against drug trafficking in the region.
The saga began in 2021 when law enforcement officials pulled over Clark in York, Pennsylvania. A search of his vehicle revealed crack cocaine, two cell phones, a digital scale, and a staggering $18,200 in cash. Upon questioning, Clark confessed that the money was proceeds from drug sales.
But Clark’s illegal activities didn’t stop there. Just a month after his initial run-in with the law, he sold crack cocaine to a confidential source. Then, in an audacious move, he was caught yet again two weeks later, this time with more crack cocaine and marijuana in his possession.
