Trial For Alleged Drug Dealer Delayed For The Fifth Time

A trial for a Chippewa Township man facing felony drug charges has been delayed for the fifth time.

Brendan Paul Latsko, age 24, was scheduled to face trial the week of August 31 on charges of misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia, and felony possession with the intent to distribute a controlled substance.

His trial has now been rescheduled for the week of October 26.

According to court records, a lavish home located at 915 Shenango Road, Chippewa Township, was raided in April 2019 by the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Drug Task Force. Agents executed the search warrant after using an informant to allegedly buy drugs at the home from Latsko. County assessment records show the house is owned by Latsko’s father, PJ, who was not charged with any wrongdoing.
