CLARION, Pa. (EYT) – A Clarion man who repeatedly sold cocaine to undercover officers will be sentenced next month in the Clarion County Court of Common Pleas.
According to court documents, 20-year-old Devin Atma Soberdhan, of Clarion, pleaded guilty on January 3 to four felony counts of the manufacture, delivery, or possession with the intent to manufacture or deliver.
As part of the guilty plea, possession, use of drug paraphernalia, and criminal use of a communication facility were dismissed.
His sentencing is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, February 7, in front President Judge James G. Arner.
Soberdhan remains free on $10,000.00 bail for each case.
Charges in two other drug-related cases will be dismissed at the above-described sentencing.
Case details:
A criminal complaint filed on July 18, 2017, indicated the charges stemmed from a controlled drug buy on March 1, 2017.
Around 5:47 p.m., Soberdhan and an undercover officer exchanged text messages in which Soberdhan agreed to sell approximately 3 grams of cocaine to the undercover officer in exchange for $300.00.
At approximately 6:35 p.m., the undercover officer arrived at Soberdhan’s residence where four other individuals were present.
“I made small talk with others in the house while (Soberdhan) went into a bedroom area located just off the living room,” said the undercover officer in the criminal complaint.
“(Soberdhan) came back into the living room and he handed me a plastic baggie with what appeared to be approximately 3 grams of cocaine.”
The undercover officer then gave Soberdhan $300.00 in exchange for the cocaine.
“(Soberdhan) told me if I needed any more to get ahold of him.”
The substance tested positive for cocaine and was logged into evidence at the Punxsutawney State Police barracks.
