An inmate in the Mercer County Prison is pleading guilty to conspiring to deal drugs in jail.
The Department of Justice says 30-year-old Eugene Phillips of Farrell pled guilty after he was accused of trying to distribute crack cocaine and launder drug trafficking proceeds from prison. DOJ officials say this happened in between March and June of 2021.
Phillips was in prison at the time pending state drug trafficking charges.
He faces anywhere from 5 to 60 years in prison and a fine up to $5.5 million.
