Law enforcement investigating reports of drug dealers using trains to travel between Newark and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania stopped Jeremy Lorenzo, 30, as he was waiting to board an Amtrak train at Penn Station in Newark. 

Suspecting he was transporting narcotics, authorities conducted a K-9 search. When the dog indicated the presence of drugs, authorities searched Lorenzo and found more than 200 grams of heroin, the U.S. Attorney's Office said. 

Lorenzo must serve at least five years in prison and up to 40 years years in prison, as well as a fine of up to $5 million. He's scheduled to be sentenced in January.
