Scranton Man Sentenced To Five Years In Prison For Methamphetamine Trafficking

SCRANTON - The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that David Bomboy, age 61, of Scranton, Pennsylvania, was sentenced on February 23, 2021, by U.S. District Court Judge Robert D. Mariani, to five years’ imprisonment for his role in a Lackawanna County-based methamphetamine trafficking conspiracy.

According to Acting United States Attorney Bruce D. Brandler, Bomboy previously pled guilty and admitted to participating in a conspiracy to distribute between 350 and 500 grams of methamphetamine in the Scranton area between February and April 2019

The investigation was conducted by the Scranton Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration.  Assistant United States Attorney Robert J. O’Hara prosecuted the case.

This case is 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 make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. The Department of Justice reinvigorated PSN in 2017 as part of the Department’s renewed focus on targeting violent criminals, directing all U.S. Attorney’s Offices to work in partnership with federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement and the local community to develop effective, locally-based strategies to reduce violent crime.
