HARRISBURG, Pa. — A Centre County man has been sentenced to 15 to 30 years in state prison for his role in a major drug trafficking operation that funneled heroin, fentanyl, and cocaine from New Jersey to State College, the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General announced Monday.
Larry Brickhouse, 51, of State College, was convicted after a three-day trial of multiple felony charges, including possession with intent to deliver heroin/fentanyl and cocaine, conspiracy, and criminal use of a communication facility.
Prosecutors presented evidence showing Brickhouse conspired with the late Larry David, who ran the drug trafficking network out of his State College residence. Brickhouse helped transport narcotics from New Jersey and participated in distributing the drugs throughout the State College area.
“This defendant was a key player in a large-scale trafficking network that brought poisons to Commonwealth communities,” said Attorney General Dave Sunday in a statement.
