Description: Pittsburgh, PA - Judge Sentences Pittsburgh Heroin Dealer to 10 Years in Prison

Cody Duncan was sentenced to 120 months in federal prison for conspiring to distribute at least 1 kilogram of heroin.

Duncan, age 26, formerly of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was sentenced by United States District Court Judge Nora Barry Fischer. Judge Fischer ordered that Duncan serve five years of supervised release after he is released from prison. Duncan’s sentencing guideline range for the heroin trafficking conviction was increased as a result of his possession of a dangerous weapon.

The Drug Enforcement Administration and the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police led the multi-agency investigation of this case that also included the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, the Department of Homeland Security/Homeland Security Investigations, the United States Marshals Service, the Pennsylvania State Police, the Scott Township Police Department, the Munhall Police Department, the Baldwin Police Department, and the Pleasant Hills Police Department. The investigation was funded by the federal Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force Program (OCDETF). The OCDETF program supplies critical federal funding and coordination that allows federal and state agencies to work together to successfully identify, investigate, and prosecute major interstate and international drug trafficking organizations and other criminal enterprises.

Outcome: Defendant was sentenced to 120 months in prison.
