These charges were the result of a long term investigation between the Office of Attorney General, Bureau of Narcotics Investigation, State College Police Department and a pair of statewide investigating grand juries impaneled by my office. What we learned during this investigation was that Between 2023 and 2024, large amounts of cocaine kilos were brought from Philadelphia and New York to State College where they were cut and packaged for sale primarily to Penn State students.
