A jury convicted Kalif Briggs<\/strong>, 33, of Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, his role in a multi-state heroin and oxycodone trafficking operation, according to federal officials.<\/span><\/p>\n

Briggs participated in a drug trafficking network that trafficked heroin and oxycodone that was taken across state lines from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Morgantown, West Virginia for redistribution and sale throughout the region, officials said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The operation was disrupted in November 2014 when Briggs, along with 20 other individuals, was charged in a 65-count federal indictment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Specifically, officials said Briggs sold oxycodone in 2014 in Monongalia County, West Virginia. <\/span><\/p>\n

Briggs pled guilty last week to one count of \u201cAiding and Abetting Distribution of Oxycodone.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

He faces up to 20 years in prison, officials said.<\/span><\/p>\n
