York Drug Trafficker Sentenced To Six Years In Prison

HARRISBURG - The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that Charles D. Smalley, age 44, of York County, Pennsylvania, was sentenced on September 22, 2026, to 72 months’ imprisonment by United States District Judge Jennifer P. Wilson for drug trafficking.

According to United States Attorney Brian D. Miller, Smalley was sentenced for his role in a drug trafficking ring that involved shipping kilogram quantities of methamphetamine to York, Pennsylvania. Smalley pled guilty to conspiring to distribute crystal methamphetamine. 

The case arose from investigation of the drug trafficking operation of Jashan Moore, a/k/a 
“Dream.”  During this investigation, police intercepted a parcel containing over seven kilograms of methamphetamine destined for Smalley’s home.  On June 5, 2023, the police delivered a parcel to the home and watched Smalley and Natasha Myers handle and then turn over the parcel to Moore. 

When imposing sentence, Judge Wilson highlighted Smalley’s criminal history and the seriousness of the offense. The judge also considered that Smalley was a fugitive for a year after he pled guilty. In March 2025, co-defendant Natasha Myers was sentenced to 40 months in prison. In December 2025, co-defendant Jashan Moore was sentenced to 186 months in prison. 

The case was investigated by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the York City Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael A. Consiglio is prosecuting the case.

This case is part of Operation Take Back America a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.
