Philadelphia 10th and O Crew Member Sentenced to 60 Months in Oxycodone Conspiracy

A Pennsylvania man was sentenced to 60 months in prison Tuesday in the District of New Jersey after pleading guilty to conspiracy to distribute oxycodone.

The defendant is the latest member of the Philadelphia-based 10th and O Crew convicted in the long-running federal case. The U.S. Department of Justice announcement identifies the offense as conspiracy to distribute a highly addictive controlled substance.

Scope of the case remains tied to the crew's operations in Philadelphia and surrounding areas. Federal prosecutors have secured convictions against multiple members for their roles in moving oxycodone, though exact quantities distributed by this defendant or total crew volume were not detailed in the sentencing release.

The sentence marks the operational conclusion of this defendant's case. He will serve five years in federal prison followed by supervised release. The prior state left him facing trial or further negotiation; the new state imposes the 60-month term ordered by the district judge.

Downstream effects include the defendant's removal from any continued trafficking activity for the duration of his incarceration. The Bureau of Prisons must designate a facility and calculate his release date. Federal probation officers will assume responsibility for post-release supervision.

The sentencing also advances the broader prosecution of the 10th and O Crew, with remaining members or associates facing potential additional charges or sentences in the District of New Jersey.

This sentencing continues a series of federal cases against the crew. The Justice Department has previously announced convictions and sentences for other members tied to the same oxycodone distribution network. The case was prosecuted under federal narcotics conspiracy statutes in the District of New Jersey.
