A former city man has been indicted by a federal grand jury in connection with suspected drug trafficking.

A spokeswoman for Acting U.S. Attorney Stephen R. Kaufman said Brock J. Cochran, 30, is charged with possession with intent to deliver cocaine and the synthetic painkiller fentanyl.

A grand jury returned the indictment this week in connection with an incident that happened June 29, the spokeswoman said.

The law provides for a maximum total sentence of not more than 40 years, a fine not to exceed $5 million or both. The U.S. Postal Inspection Service conducted the investigation leading to the Indictment in this case, Kaufman’s office said.
