A Washington, Pa. man has pleaded guilty in federal court to a charge of conspiracy to distribute crack cocaine.

U.S. Attorney Scott W. Brady said Antoine Dean, Jr., 29, and his co-conspirators distributed at least an ounce of crack cocaine from November 2017 through June 2018.

According to prosecutors, in 2017, the FBI and the federal Drug Enforcement Administration started a wiretap investigation, primarily targeting the GBK street gang and drug trafficking in the Greenway Projects, located in Pittsburgh’s West End neighborhood.

It uncovered the drug sales.

Dean’s sentencing is set for July 8. He faces 10 years to life in prison and a fine of $8 million.
