The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania has announced that Jeffrey Snyder, 47, from Middleburg, was sentenced to 188 months in prison. Chief United States District Judge Matthew W. Brann delivered the sentence for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.
Acting United States Attorney John Gurganus reported that Snyder led Pennsylvania State Police officers on a high-speed chase through Union and Snyder counties on April 8, 2024. Upon arrest, Snyder was found with approximately 376 grams of methamphetamine, $1,390.40 in cash, a stolen vehicle, and a loaded stolen revolver in the driver’s side door. He had previously pleaded guilty on March 6, 2025.
