A New Kensington man is charged with selling cocaine he bought from a major drug ring that was dismantled by federal agents earlier this year.
The Trib reports that 44-year-old Larry Weathersby was charged in connection with an investigation launched in December 2018 by the FBI dubbed Operation Lake Effect. The investigation stretched over four years across the country and resulted in the arrests of 57 people, the seizure of more than 673 pounds of fentanyl-laced fake prescription pills and more than 400 pounds of methamphetamine, the acting U.S. Attorney in Pittsburgh announced March 3.
Weathersby was being detained in the Westmoreland County jail in lieu of a $75,000 cash bond, according to court records. He faces a preliminary hearing July 27.
