A Lansford man pleaded guilty in Carbon County court on Tuesday to a drug dealing charge and was told he faces a prison term at the time of sentencing.

Joseph D. Chambers Jr., 29, pleaded to one count of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance for an incident on Aug. 15, 2020.

According to the affidavit of probable cause filed by Summit Hill police, as part of an ongoing investigation into heroin/fentanyl distribution in the borough, police searched the Chambers home in the 300 block of West Bertsch Street. Before the search, police took Chambers into custody after he left his home.

On him, police found six bricks and two bundles, totaling 320 bags of suspected heroin/fentanyl, as well as a small baggie of methamphetamine, several syringes and packing materials.

Chambers admitted the items were his and that he would sell the drugs to support his own addiction.

An additional search, police said, also found 770 bags of fentanyl, 11.6 grams brown tar heroin, 30.8 grams of meth, 49.3 grams of marijuana, and $2,304 in cash.

In exchange for the plea to the felony count, charges of possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia were dropped.

Judge Steven R. Serfass, who accepted the plea, told Chambers, under state sentencing guidelines, he faces a minimum prison term of somewhere between nine and 16 months up to a maximum of 84 months.

Sentencing was deferred.
