Moon Man Gets Stiff Prison Sentence For Drug Trafficking

PITTSBURGH, PA — A Moon Township man has been sentenced to more than 27 years for drug trafficking and money laundering that occurred while he was on supervised release from a previous drug trafficking prison sentence.

District Judge Nicholas Ranjan imposed the sentence on Noah Landfried, 38.

According to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Pittsburgh, Landfried’s sentence is a combination of 300 months for the drug trafficking and money laundering convictions and 30 months for

the supervised release violation.

Landfried was convicted in a jury trial in December 2021 for dealing cocaine, fentanyl and heroin.

He had been released in 2017 from a federal prison in Illinois for a previous sentence for international marijuana trafficking.

“Following his release in 2017, he re-established a direct connection to a Mexican source of supply and received tractor-trailer shipments of kilograms of cocaine that were transported across the U.S.-Mexico border,” a release from the U.S. Attorney's office stated.

“Landfried supplemented his cocaine trafficking by distributing thousands of oxycodone pills and large quantities of fentanyl and heroin, in addition to the K2-synthetic cannabinoids he was surreptitiously trafficking into prisons.”
