A Towanda man will spend at least two decades in state prison for drug and weapons charges.

According to the Bradford County District Attorney’s Office, 54-year-old Steven William Gonzalez was sentenced to a minimum of 22 years to a maximum of 44 years for three counts of possession with intent to deliver and one count of person not to possess a firearm.

Gonzalez was arrested following an investigation by the Bradford County Drug Task Force and Pennsylvania State Police.

A search warrant executed on Gonzalez’s William Street home in Towanda yielded large quantities of drugs and cash as well as guns.

Bradford County District Attorney Richard Wilson said the sentence was appropriate because “Gonzalez operated what was probably the largest drug ring Bradford County has ever seen.”
