Tahid Green, a 34-year-old resident of Philadelphia, was indicted by a federal grand jury on April 1 for drug trafficking offenses, according to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
The case is significant as it involves allegations of distributing and possessing with intent to distribute more than 40 grams of fentanyl in Luzerne County. Fentanyl is known for its potency and role in overdose deaths across the country.
United States Attorney Brian D. Miller said that Green allegedly distributed more than 40 grams of fentanyl on March 3, 2026, and possessed with intent to distribute an additional amount exceeding 40 grams on March 25, both incidents occurring in Luzerne County. The Drug Enforcement Administration investigated the case, and Assistant United States Attorney Tatum Wilson has been assigned as prosecutor.
If convicted, Green faces a maximum penalty under federal law of forty years imprisonment for each offense. Sentencing would also include a term of supervised release following imprisonment and a fine. The final sentence will be determined by a judge who will consider applicable federal sentencing statutes and guidelines.
Officials emphasized that indictments are only allegations at this stage. “All persons charged are presumed to be innocent unless and until found guilty in court,” the statement read.
