(Pa) Heroin dealer ordered to prison

An Indiana, PA, man with a track record of 13 convictions in three counties over the past 13 years was ordered May 28 to serve up to six years in prison for his guilty pleas to two felony counts of delivery of drugs. Joshua Duffy, 35, was sent to Smithfield State Correctional Institute June 15 to begin serving the terms.

State police at Indiana charged Duffy with manufacture, delivery or possession with intent to deliver heroin, possession of controlled substances and possession of drug paraphernalia on April 23, 2019, in White Township.

Duffy was held at Indiana County jail following his arrest June 7, 2019, and remained incarcerated until the coronavirus pandemic began. He was granted release on unsecured bond March 31, 2020, “due to the COVID-19 virus,” court records show, but was returned to custody on June 23, 2020.

Troopers also charged Duffy on March 4, 2020, with manufacture, delivery or possession with intent to deliver heroin, possession of drugs and possession of paraphernalia for a narcotics deal April 5, 2019, in White Township. Judge Michael Clark sentenced Duffy to serve two to six years in prison on each felony count, ordered that he could serve the terms concurrently and granted him credit for time spent in jail awaiting trial.
