Harrisburg Residents Charged in Major Drug Trafficking Operation
HARRISBURG, PA – Eleven individuals from the Harrisburg area have been indicted on federal drug trafficking charges, announced the United States Attorney’s office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. Nymele John Morgan, 49; Anthony Reyes-Pabon, 26; Laura Diane Snyder, 42; Trumaine Assad Weaver, 26; Tyshawn Lorne jones, 28; Moises Arroyo-Guerra, 35; Justice Tireese Andrews, 31; Robert Oren Bates, 38; Jockzan Rodriguez, 40; Alexia Ricohla Lambert, 27; and Margarita Pabon-Torres, 51, are all facing charges related to a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, fentanyl, and cocaine within Dauphin County.
The indictment alleges the conspiracy spanned from September 2023 to May 2025. in addition to the drug charges, Weaver, Bates, and Morgan are accused of illegally possessing firearms as prohibited persons and utilizing them during the commission of drug-related crimes. Reyes-Pabon and Pabon-Torres are further charged with maintaining a location for the purpose of facilitating drug trafficking activities.
The inquiry was a collaborative effort led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with significant contributions from the Pennsylvania State police, the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General, the Dauphin County Violent Crimes Unit, and the East Pennsboro Township Police. Assistant United States Attorney K. Wesley Mishoe is leading the prosecution.
This case is part of “Operation Take Back America,” a national department of Justice initiative focused on combating illegal immigration, dismantling cartels and transnational criminal organizations, and enhancing community safety. The operation integrates resources from the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) and Project Safe Neighborhood (PSN).
If convicted, each defendant faces a potential sentence of up to life in prison, followed by a period of supervised release, financial penalties, and court-ordered assessments. Sentencing will be resolute by a judge based on federal statutes and sentencing guidelines.
It is significant to note that a superseding indictment contains allegations only, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
