A former Titusville resident indicted in connection with a regional methamphetamine ring based in Grand Valley received a 10-year sentence in federal court this week.

Sarah U. Bloom, 31, was sentenced by US District Judge Susan Paradise Baxter to 120 months followed by five years of supervised release.

The charge is identified in court filings as “conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine.”

The investigation started with a local Warren County Drug Task Force investigation at “The Farm,” which refers to the Grand Valley location at 530 Hunter School Road.

Federal officials unsealed an indictment in September 2020 that alleged that two individuals would drive to Akron, Ohio two to three times per week to pick up half a pound of methamphetamine.

Local law enforcement sources said Tucker and Flick would return through Erie and drop to Titusville — “they all called Titusville T-Vegas” — and the meth “spiderwebbed” through the area to the end user through a series of runners living at “The Farm.”

Each of the 16 faced the prospect of life in prison as a maximum penalty. While it seems unlikely any will receive such a consequence, there are sizable sentences being handed down as part of the operation.
