Indictments Target Drug Offenders Across Lawrence and Mercer Counties
Officials announce two major federal indictments charging multiple defendants from Lawrence and Mercer counties with drug trafficking, conspiracy, and possession with intent to distribute cocaine and fentanyl. Named individuals include Gilmore, Melvin Dorsey-Pace, and Rayston Sams of New Castle, plus others from Sharon, Farrell, Hermitage, and surrounding areas. The cases involve conspiracies to launder drug proceeds and distributions near schools and parks, with potential penalties of five to 40 years and up to $5 million fines if convicted. The FBI, DEA, and Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General led the investigation, with cooperation from local police and drug task forces. Suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
