PITTSBURGH — Taurean Potter, 33, of Ellwood City was found guilty by a federal jury Thursday for dealing cocaine.

Appearing before U.S. District Judge Arthur J. Schwab in Pittsburgh, evidence presented at trial established that Potter sold cocaine out of Ellwood City bars in 2017 and 2018, and he sold cocaine to other dealers, who sold the drug elsewhere.

Potter had also been caught selling cocaine to undercover agents from the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office in 2017.

Schwab scheduled sentencing for Oct. 31 with the law dictating a possible sentence of 60 years in prison, a $4 million fine or both.

The Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office, in conjunctions with the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Lawrence County Drug Task Force, conducted the investigation that led to the prosecution of Potter.
