Two sentenced in drug network

Two members of a drug network that shipped narcotics from Ohio and Detroit into Washington, Pa., in 2011 and 2012 were sentenced today in federal court to lengthy prison terms.

U.S. District Judge Terrence McVerry gave Terrell Williams, 35, of McKeesport 72 months behind bars. Josh Williams, 33, of Aliquippa got 70 months.

The men are not related but were part of two rings dismantled by the FBI and police in 2012 following a wiretap investigation that exposed a pipeline of cocaine from Warren, Ohio, into Washington and another that brought heroin in from Detroit.

In all, federal prosecutors brought charges against more than two dozen defendants in two cases, all of whom have pleaded guilty.
