Luis "Cito" Minier, of York, Pennsylvania, has been sentenced after being found guilty of conspiring to distribute over a kilogram of heroin-- equivalent to approximately 40,000 individual doses-- and five kilograms of cocaine.
The charges stem from a Dec. 2017 investigation into a death by heroin overdose.
Fentanyl sold by a co-defendant Lamar Johnson was a contributing factor, according to an autopsy.
An investigation determined that Minier was bringing kilogram quantities of heroin and cocaine into York on a weekly basis from September 2017 until December 2017.
Police arrested and seized over 700 grams of heroin and a kilogram of cocaine during police searches in Dec. 2017.
Codefendants indicted in this case include:
- Brandon “B Or" Orr, 27, of York, entered a guilty plea to drug trafficking charges in June 2021, and is awaiting sentencing
- Lamar Johnson, 32, of York, entered a guilty plea to drug trafficking charges in June 2021, and is awaiting sentencing.
- Javiel Snellings, 26, of York, entered a guilty plea to drug trafficking charges and was sentenced March 31, 2021 to two years of probation.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, a program that brings together all levels of law enforcement to reduce violent crime.
