HARRISBURG, Pa. — A Harrisburg man was indicted this week for his alleged methamphetamine trafficking activities, U.S. Attorney Gerard M. Karam announced.
Jaquan Ardrey, 30, was indicted by a federal jury on two counts of possessing with intent to distribute methamphetamine in Dauphin and Cumberland Counties, Karam said in a press release.
The charges resulted from an investigation by the FBI Capital City Safe Streets Task Force, Pennsylvania State Police, Harrisburg City Police, and Cumberland County Drug Task Force.
Assistant United States Attorney Michael Scalera is prosecuting the case, Karam said.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
On May 26, 2021, the Department launched a violent crime reduction strategy strengthening PSN based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results.
Under federal law, Ardrey faces a mandatory minimum sentence of ten years in prison, a maximum sentence of life in prison, a term of supervised release, and a fine.
