PHILADELPHIA - United States Attorney David Metcalf announced that Dwain London Jr., 37, of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, was arrested and charged by indictment with possession with intent to distribute cocaine base ("crack") and cocaine, possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, and possession of a firearm by a felon.

The indictment alleges that, on or about May 14, 2025, London knowingly and intentionally possessed, and intended to distribute, a mixture containing more than 28 grams of crack and a detectible amount of cocaine.

The indictment further alleges that London was found in possession of a loaded 9 mm semiautomatic handgun, a firearm he was not permitted to possess due to his status as a convicted felon.

This case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Lancaster County Drug Task Force and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Thomas M. Zaleski.
