Two women face criminal charges after U.S. postal inspectors intercepted packages containing more 2,300 suspected Xanax tablets.

Dana McFadden, 34, of Summit Hill, and Jenna Matta, 40, of Barnesville, were each charged with criminal attempt possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance; conspiracy possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance; and possession of a controlled substance.

Matta was also charged with intentional purchase of a controlled substance.

Both were arraigned this week by District Judge Beth Dodson, who set bail at $25,000 unsecured for McFadden and $75,000 unsecured for Matta.

According to court papers, the state Attorney General’s Bureau of Narcotics Investigation and Drug Control agents, along with postal inspectors, conducted an interdiction investigation aimed at interrupting and intercepting illegal substances during transport at the Lehigh Valley Postal Sorting Facility in Bethlehem in May.

On May 27, agents contacted Matta about two intercepted packages and showed them to her. Matta gave consent to open and search the packages addressed to her, court papers said.

Matta told agents that she wasn’t expecting any parcels and already received her packages from Temu, a Chinese-owned online retailer. The packages contained more than 1,200 suspected Xanax tables, court papers said.

Matta denied any involvement in acquiring illegal controlled substances, claiming she has a prescription for Xanax. She gave consent to search her cellphone and found texts between Matta and McFadden regarding the U.S. Postal Service packages.

The message from McFadden explained to Matta that packages may be intercepted and have to be picked up at the post office, and to say that it was a gift from a friend, court papers said.

Matta told investigators that McFadden placed the orders from the dark web, and that Matta was supposed to pick them up, court papers said. She then withdrew her consent for her cellphone and the interview ended.

Inspectors then contacted McFadden regarding an additional package addressed to her, and she agreed to meet at the Summit Hill Post Office, court papers said.

McFadden said she only ordered from Temu and all her packages had arrived, and she gave consent to open the parcel addressed to her, which contained approximately 1,100 suspected Xanax pills, court papers said.

McFadden told investigators she did know why she was receiving this package, and inspectors asked to see her phone. She consented but attempted to delete text messages, court papers said.

Inspectors looked at her recently deleted messages, which contained messages from Matta. McFadden said she didn’t agree to have the parcel sent to her house and insisted that Matta mailed it to her without her knowledge. The messages contradicted that information, court papers said.

McFadden provided a statement admitting giving Xanax to her friend, Kayla, on four occasions and about 10 to 20 pills at a time, investigators said.

She told agents that Matta would access the dark web and place orders and would arrange for the packages to be sent to other addresses, court papers said.
