A Braddock man was sentenced to 12 to 24 years in prison for running a million-dollar fentanyl drug ring.
Domonique Taylor, 39, pleaded guilty to felony drug trafficking, gun possession and money-laundering charges, state Attorney General Michelle Henry said Thursday.
In March 2022, the state Attorney General’s office and local police executed search warrants at Taylor’s property and seized drugs, guns, vehicles and more than $545,000 in cash.
“This was one of the largest seizures of fentanyl we have had in Pennsylvania, and we hope this significant sentence sends a message to anyone peddling these poisons in our neighborhoods,” Henry said.
Agents seized 700,000 individual doses of fentanyl, 288 grams of cocaine, marijuana, 11 vehicles, six firearms and $545,738 in cash from Taylor’s home and garage, Henry said.
The street value of the fentanyl alone was $1.4 million, Henry said.
Taylor is a convicted felon, and therefore, was not legally allowed to possess firearms.
The Attorney General’s Office was assisted in the investigation by the police departments from Monroeville, Penn Hills, Elizabeth Township, Munhall and Wilkinsburg.
