In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The individual, identified as Donnie Woods, aged 45, of Northridge, California, admitted to participating in the conspiracy between July 2020 and April 2021. During this period, Woods worked with others to distribute significant amounts of fentanyl in the central Pennsylvania region. In April 2021, law enforcement officials in Pennsylvania intercepted two packages originating from California and addressed to a residence in York, Pennsylvania. These packages collectively contained nearly four kilograms of fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid. The investigation into Woods’s activities was a collaborative effort involving the Drug Enforcement Administration, the United States Postal Inspection Service, and the Pennsylvania State Police. Assistant United States Attorney Carlo D. Marchioli handled the prosecution of the case. This sentencing is part of broader federal initiatives aimed at combating drug trafficking and its impact on communities.
