Federal authorities have charged eleven individuals from the Harrisburg area in a drug trafficking conspiracy in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. The charges stem from a superseding indictment announced by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
The defendants—Nymele John Morgan, Anthony Reyes-Pabon, Laura Diane Snyder, Trumaine Assad Weaver, Tyshawn Lorne Jones, Moises Arroyo-Guerra, Justice Tireese Andrews, Robert Oren Bates, Jockzan Rodriguez, Alexia Ricohla Lambert, and Margarita Pabon-Torres—are accused of conspiring to distribute methamphetamine, fentanyl, and cocaine between September 1, 2023 and May 30, 2025.
United States Attorney Brian D. Miller stated: “The superseding indictment alleges that from on or about September 1, 2023, and continuing until on or about May 30, 2025, the defendants conspired to distribute methamphetamine, fentanyl, and cocaine.” He further explained that additional charges include firearm possession by Weaver, Bates, and Morgan as prohibited persons in connection with drug trafficking crimes. Reyes-Pabon and Pabon-Torres are also charged with maintaining premises used for drug trafficking activities.
The investigation involved several agencies including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Pennsylvania State Police, Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General, Dauphin County Violent Crimes Unit, and East Pennsboro Township Police. Assistant United States Attorney K. Wesley Mishoe is prosecuting the case.
This prosecution falls under Operation Take Back America (https://www.justice.gov/dag/media/1393746/dl?inline), a national effort by the Department of Justice aimed at combating illegal immigration-related crime and dismantling criminal organizations such as cartels. The initiative coordinates resources from Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETFs) and Project Safe Neighborhood (PSN).
If convicted on all counts, each defendant faces a maximum penalty of life imprisonment along with supervised release terms and financial penalties. Sentencing will be determined by a federal court based on statutory requirements and sentencing guidelines.
Authorities emphasize that indictments are only allegations; all defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
