Harrisburg, Pa. — A Pennsylvania man will serve up to 25 years in prison for trafficking drugs from Philadelphia to Centre County.
Larry Thomas, 30, of Philadelphia, will serve 12 ½ to 25 years in prison for trafficking methamphetamine, fentanyl, and cocaine from Philadelphia to Centre County, according to Attorney General Michelle Henry in a news release.
Thomas was sentenced Monday in Centre County Court, after pleading guilty to six felony charges: delivery of a controlled substance, two counts of possession with intent to deliver, conspiracy to deliver controlled substances, corrupt organizations, and criminal use of a communication facility.
An investigation by the Office of Attorney General revealed Thomas as head of a Philadelphia-to-Centre County trafficking ring.
“This defendant directed a network of co-conspirators to distribute poisons in the State College area — even continuing to pull the strings while he was incarcerated,” said Henry. “These addictive substances take lives and destroy communities.”
