The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District
of Pennsylvania announced that Michael Arrington, age 37, of
Harrisburg was sentenced today by United States District Court
Chief Judge Yvette Kane. Judge Kane sentenced Arrington to a 262-
month term of imprisonment; four years of supervised release;
$1,000 fine; and a $300 special assessment. Arrington’s federal
sentence is to be served consecutively to his state sentence.
According to United States Attorney Peter Smith, in 2009
federal and local investigators conducted an investigation of
heroin, cocaine, and marijuana trafficking in the Harrisburg area
by a group of state parolees. From mid-2008 to February 2009,
Arrington supplied the conspiracy with hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of heroin, which was brought into the region from
New York, New York.
In 2009, shortly after the investigation was completed, the
primary participants in the enterprise were arrested, charged,
and ultimately sentenced. Eight participants were charged and
convicted with the primary distributors, Omar Davenport, and
Kareem Owens, receiving federal sentences of 200 months and 292
months, respectively. However, in March 2009, while the
investigation progressed, Arrington fled the area and his state
parole supervision.
In 2010, Arrington was arrested by authorities in Baltimore,
Maryland on unrelated offenses under a different name. He was
ultimately identified as the defendant in this case and brought
to United States District Court for the Middle District of
Pennsylvania for trial. After a three day trial in April 2012, in
which his co-conspirators identified Arrington as the source of
supply for the heroin to conspiracy, a federal jury convicted
Arrington of the offenses.
The investigation of this mater was conducted by the United
States Drug Enforcement Administration, the Dauphin County Drug
Task Force, the Pennsylvania State Police, and Middletown Borough
Police Department. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United
States Attorney Michael Consiglio.
