A Warren man has been sentenced to 14 months to 5 years of confinement to satisfy drug charges on two dockets filed within two days of each other.

Shawn T. Moore, 36, was sentenced to a minimum of 8 months and a maximum of 3 years of confinement on Friday by President Judge Gregory Hammond in the Court of Common Pleas after pleading to a charge of felony conspiracy – manufacture, delivery or possession with intent to manufacture or deliver.

One of the sets of charges came after Moore and Ryan English of Warren tried to sell methamphetamine to a confidential informant in Glade Township. English pleaded guilty to the felony charge of conspiracy to manufacture, deliver or possess with intent to manufacture or deliver. Judge Maureen Skerda sentenced English in December to serve a maximum of five years of probation and to pay a $5,000 fine.

Moore had been charged with one count of felony manufacture, delivery or possession with intent to deliver related in that incident as well a felony charge of manufacture, delivery or possession with intent to deliver that was not prosecuted.

According to the Affidavit of Probable Cause, Conewango Township Police, working with the state Attorney General’s office’s Narcotics Bureau, conducted a controlled purchase of methamphetamine in July. A confidential informant was allegedly in communication with English about purchasing methamphetamine. English allegedly messaged that he would be able to facilitate getting the informant methamphetamine to purchase. Officers met with the informant at a predetermined location and conducted pre-operation procedures, according to the affidavit, including setting up surveillance at a Woodberry Lane trailer in Glade Township. Police report seeing English arriving at his trailer before leaving again. Police say English picked up Moore, who arrived back to the trailer where the confidential informant was still waiting. The informant provided the pre-recorded currency to English, who then gave the money to Moore, according to the affidavit. Moore allegedly then weighed out methamphetamine and gave the illegal drugs to the informant.

“The confidential informant was observed leaving the trailer and constant visual contact was kept with them,” the affidavit states. “Confidential informant met with this officer and provided a clear plastic bag tie off that inside contained a substance consistent with being crystal methamphetamine.”

Two days later Moore was charged with manufacture, delivery or possession with intent to deliver. He was sentenced to a minimum of 6 months to a maximum of 2 years of confinement, with credit for 341 days time already served, by Hammond on Friday. The sentences will run consecutively.
