Attorney General Dave Sunday, in conjunction with the 51st Statewide Investigating Grand Jury, announced charges against two men — cousins — who allegedly trafficked cocaine across Pennsylvania to Erie and Crawford counties.
The Office of Attorney General’s Drug Strike Force Section filed charges against Corey Scott and Arden Scott, following a comprehensive investigation that included testimony before the grand jury regarding distribution of cocaine in northwestern Pennsylvania.
Corey Scott, 50, of Monroe County, was arrested near I-90 in Erie County. He was arraigned and bail was set at $25,000. Arden Scott, 36, of Bronx, N.Y., is a fugitive.
The cousins are each charged with felony counts of possession with intent to deliver, conspiracy, and related offenses.
“This case involved a large network of law enforcement partners employing numerous tactics to track and document the movement of cocaine across the Commonwealth, which the astute grand jurors heard testimony about and ultimately recommended charges,” Attorney General Sunday said. “These are significant charges, and I commend our team and the many partners for their shared commitment to stopping drug traffickers.”
The Office of Attorney General was assisted by the Bradford City Police Department, Conneaut Lake Regional Police Department, Edinboro Borough Police Department, Erie City Bureau of Police, Meadville City Police Department, Millcreek Township Police Department, Pennsylvania State Police (Troop E, Erie), Titusville City Police Department, Warren City Police Department and Borough of Youngsville Police Department.
Investigators learned that Corey Scott was making regular trips to Delaware County to meet a supplier, and returned to northwest Pennsylvania with bulk cocaine. In October 2024, investigators stopped the Scotts in a vehicle on Route 86 in Erie County and seized over 10 ounces of cocaine.
