York County Man Sentenced To 96 Months For Drug Trafficking Crime

HARRISBURG – The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that Terry Clark, age 59, of York County, Pennsylvania, was sentenced on March 7, 2024, to 96 months’ imprisonment by United States District Court Judge Jennifer P. Wilson, for possessing with intent to distribute cocaine. 

According to United States Attorney Gerard M. Karam, in 2021, Clark was stopped by law enforcement in York, Pennsylvania, and found to be in possession of crack cocaine, two cell phones, a digital scale, and $18,200.  Clark confessed that the money was from selling drugs.  A month later, Clark sold crack cocaine to a confidential source, and then, two weeks later was stopped again.  During the second stop, Clark was in possession of an additional quantity of crack cocaine and marijuana.  Law enforcement subsequently executed a search warrant at Clark’s residence and seized more crack cocaine, as well as fentanyl, a digital scale, and stun gun.  In total, Clark was determined to be responsible for 398 grams of crack cocaine, 27 grams of marijuana, and 8 grams of fentanyl.

The investigation was conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the York County Drug Task Force.  Assistant United States Attorneys Bruce D. Brandler, Johnny Baer, and K. Wesley (Wes) Mishoe 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 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.
