Lock Haven Man Sentenced for Cocaine By Mail Scheme
LOCK HAVEN— Jayden Lyons, 20, of South Highland Street IN Lock Haven, was sentenced Tuesday by Clinton County Court of Common Pleas Judge Michael F. Salisbury for Lyons’ role in a scheme to import cocaine into Clinton County using the U.S. Postal Service. Ultimately, Lyons entered a guilty plea to Possession with Intent to Deliver 268 grams of cocaine— just under a half pound.
On Tuesday, April 15, 2025, Judge Salisbury sentenced Lyons to a maximum term of incarceration in State Prison of 84 months, with parole eligibility after serving two years. Pennsylvania State Police, in cooperation with the U.S. Postal Service, conducted the investigation and filed charges in the case.
In late April of 2024, multiple packages were seized by USPS and the State Police that contained confirmed quantities of cocaine. The packages were marked with return addresses in California and addressed to another individual located on Ontario Avenue in Renovo Borough. Police were able to re-package one of the parcels with “sham,” or fake drugs, and tracked the parcel to its intended delivery in Renovo. From there, Police observed Lyons retrieve the parcel, place it into a backpack, and load it into the trunk of a vehicle. Lyons then transported the parcel to Fairview Street in Lock Haven. Lyons was observed by police then removing the backpack from the vehicle and taking it into a nearby apartment, where he opened the parcel. Police then approached and took Lyons into custody.
