On Tuesday, an announcement came from federal prosecutors that after trafficking oxycodone, twelve people from Western Pennsylvania and a doctor from Indiana were indicted. Two separate charges were received through events that happened from 2019 to July 2024, which included Adderall being given away by Dr. Martin J. Maassen from Lafayette, Indiana. According to a news release from United States Attorney Eric Olshan, he notes that these drugs can be “addictive and deadly” and that they bring the Western Pennsylvania community down along with the remainder of the country. 

Investigations handled by The Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force, which stops intense drug traffickers, gangs, thieves of money and criminal organizations across the world were added along with these prosecutions.
