A Pennsylvania woman will serve over eight years in federal prison, followed by a period of supervision, after being sentenced on drug distribution charges.
Jessica Wilson, 39, of Johnstown, was sentenced to 100 months in prison and three years of supervised release by US District Judge Marilyn J. Horan on May 8, 2025.
The sentencing was announced by Acting United States Attorney Troy Rivetti, following Wilson’s convictions for conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute different controlled narcotics, such as heroin, crack, methamphetamine, and fentanyl.
According to court documents, Wilson was involved in narcotics trafficking activities in the Western District of Pennsylvania between January and July 2021. During this time, she conspired to distribute heroin, crack, and methamphetamine. The evidence provided includes information gathered from a federal wiretap that caught Wilson collecting quantities of these substances for distribution to others.
Wilson was also charged with a separate violation spanning the period from about April 2024 to June 2024. The investigation revealed that Wilson plotted and had fentanyl and crack combinations with the intention of distributing them.
Assistant United States Attorneys Maureen Sheehan-Balchon and Arnold P. Bernard Jr. prosecuted the cases against Wilson on behalf of the government.
