Pittsburgh — A Florida resident pleaded guilty in federal court to a charge of conspiracy to distribute marijuana, United States Attorney Scott W. Brady announced today. Ryan Hendrix of Lighthouse Point, Florida, pleaded guilty to one count before Senior United States District Judge David S. Cercone. In connection with the guilty plea, the court was advised that the Drug Enforcement Administration and other agencies conducted a multi-year investigation of the marijuana trafficking conspiracy of Hendrix and his coconspirators. From 2012 through 2017, Hendrix and his co-conspirators arranged for marijuana to be supplied from the West Coast and mailed to the Pittsburgh area through the United States Postal Service. Hendrix's co-conspirators would then distribute the marijuana in the Western District of Pennsylvania, primarily on college campuses, such as Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
