JOHNSTOWN – A Clearfield woman has been sentenced in federal court to a total of 87 months in prison followed by four years of supervised release on her conviction of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, U.S. Attorney Eric G. Olshan announced Thursday.

According to information presented to the court, from July 2019 to June 2020, in the Western District of Pennsylvania, Luzier conspired to distribute five grams or more of actual methamphetamine.
Luzier was intercepted on a federal wiretap obtaining quantities of methamphetamine that she distributed to others.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Maureen Sheehan-Balchon prosecuted this case on behalf of the government.
U.S. Attorney Olshan commended the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Pennsylvania State Police for the investigation that led to the successful prosecution of Luzier.

This prosecution is part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) investigation.
