New Jersey Man Sentenced to 46 Months In Prison For Drug Conspiracy

WILLIAMSPORT - The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that Fareed Davis, age 47, of Camden, New Jersey, was sentenced to 46 months in prison to be followed by four years of supervised release by Chief U.S. District Court Judge Matthew W. Brann, for drug conspiracy charges.

According to Acting United States Attorney John C. Gurganus, Davis pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, including fluorofentanyl, fentanyl, and tramadol.  In his role in the conspiracy, Davis was responsible for distributing at least 40 grams of opioids or 1,200 individual doses from March of 2018 to December of 2020. 

This case was investigated by the Pennsylvania State Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.  Assistant U.S. Attorney Alisan V. Martin prosecuted the case.

This case was brought as part of a district wide initiative to combat the nationwide epidemic regarding the use and distribution of heroin.  Led by the United States Attorney’s Office, the Heroin Initiative targets heroin traffickers operating in the Middle District of Pennsylvania and is part of a coordinated effort among federal, state and local law enforcement agencies to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who commit heroin related offenses.

This case is also part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. On May 26, 2021, the Department launched a violent crime reduction strategy strengthening PSN based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities and measuring the results.
