Three Harrisburg men indicted for crack cocaine trafficking

From the Dept. of Justice:

The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District

of Pennsylvania announced that three men were indicted Wednesday

by a federal grand jury in Harrisburg for the distribution of

cocaine and crack.

According to United States Attorney Peter J. Smith, between

fall 2010 through August 2012, it is alleged that Dawan Maynard,

age 40; Michael Morris, age 46; and Corry J. Matthews, age 38,

all of Harrisburg, distributed over 500 grams of crack cocaine

and cocaine in the Harrisburg area.

In furtherance of their drug trafficking scheme, the

conspirators used threats of violence and intimidation to acquire

cocaine from other area drug traffickers.

The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement

Administration in conjunction with the Dauphin County Drug Task

Force. U.S. Attorney Smith noted that this case resulted from ongoing

cooperation between federal and local authorities into drug

trafficking, firearms offenses, and violence in the Capital

region. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States

Attorney Michael Consiglio.
