HARRISBURG, Pa. — Attorney General Josh Shapiro, in conjunction with the Forty-Sixth Statewide Investigating Grand Jury, announced on Thursday that the Office of Attorney General has arrested 13 individuals and taken down a heroin/fentanyl and a methamphetamine trafficking organization operating in Elk and Erie counties.

 

“While we lose 14 Pennsylvanians a day to drug overdoses, these individuals peddled poisons into our communities with total disregard for the consequences,” said Attorney General Shapiro.

“We’re committed to shutting down these dangerous, illegal trafficking operations, keeping Pennsylvania neighborhoods safe, and saving lives.”

The investigation into the rings began in 2019 after agents from the Office’s Bureau of Narcotics Investigations identified Thomas Wallace, of Erie; Margaret Wisor, of Johnsonburg; Joshua Pulliam, who is currently an inmate at SCI Albion; and Joshua Coles, of Erie, as trafficking large quantities of methamphetamine and heroin/fentanyl throughout Elk and Erie counties.

The subsequent investigation into their trafficking network identified nine other individuals involved in trafficking methamphetamine: Dustin Black, who is currently lodged at the Armstrong County Jail; Ashley Bowley, of Ridgway; Adam Curci, of Smethfield; Rikki Curcio, of Bradford; Andrew Hoover, who is currently lodged at the Erie County Jail; Joseph Krise, of Kersey; James McDonald, who is currently lodged in the Elk County Jail; Cayla Royer, of Weedville; and Michael VanDyne, who is currently lodged in Elk County Jail.

The investigation culminated in the execution of search warrants in October 2020, when agents seized more than eight pounds or 700,000 doses of methamphetamine.

Wisor, Pulliam, Coles, Black, Bowley, Curci, Hoover, McDonald, and VanDyne are all currently incarcerated on unrelated charges and were charged with crimes related to the Grand Jury investigation.

Wallace, Curcio, Krise, and Royer were taken into custody this week and charged with Criminal Conspiracy and drug-related offenses.

All charges are accusations. The defendants are innocent unless and until proven guilty. This case is being prosecuted by Senior Deputy Attorney General Roger Bauer.

The investigation was conducted in partnership with Task Force Officers from the Attorney General’s North Central Drug Task Force, Elk County District Attorney’s Office, Elk County District Attorney’s Office County Detective, City of St. Marys Police Department, Clarion Police Department, Edinboro Police Department, Erie Bureau of Police, Girard Borough Police Department, Johnsonburg Police Department, Lake City Police Department, Millcreek Township Police Department, Ridgway Police Department and the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections Bureau of Investigations and Intelligence.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        https://www.explorejeffersonpa.com/ag-shapiro-arrests-thirteen-shuts-down-heroin-meth-trafficking-rings/

SAINT MARYS, Pa. (WTAJ) — An Elk County woman has been charged for supplying the drugs that led to the overdose death of a Saint Marys man in early October.

According to the report, police arrived at the man’s home on October 8, 2020, where he was declared dead at the scene. He was found with baggies labeled “RX360 OUT OF STOCK” and witnesses reported that on Oct. 7, he went to 41-year-old Margaret Wisor’s home in Johnsonburg.

During the course of the investigation, a search warrant was issued on Wisor’s home where money, handwritten ledgers, digital scales, heroin, meth, multiple cellphones, and several baggies marked “RX360 OUT OF STOCK” were all found. After being read her Miranda rights, Wisor told police that they smoked a few of the bags on Oct. 7, and she asked him to take the empty bags with him then gave him some of her personal supply as well as having sold him meth in the week prior to his death.

After an autopsy and lab results, it was determined that the Saint Marys man had died from acute Fentanyl toxicity. Fentanyl, Naloxone, Delta-9-THC, and Acetaminophen were all found in his system as well as in the drugs confiscated from Wisor’s home.

Wisor is facing charges of Drug delivery resulting in death, prohibited acts, and criminal use of a communication facility.
