At the event, federal prosecutors had the opportunity to recognize and thank the members of various federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies who investigated cases for prosecution.
Eisenhauer was lauded for his work in an investigation that took down a large-scale drug trafficking ring that operated in Bucks County and surrounding areas.
From the district attorney’s office:
The collaborative investigation by the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office Drug Strike Force and the Drug Enforcement Administration in 2018 took down the Skipworth drug trafficking organization.
Damir Skipworth, the leader of the drug ring, and his associates were responsible for the distribution of hundreds of pounds of methamphetamine, thousands of doses of fentanyl, and large quantities of cocaine and other drugs in Bucks, Philadelphia, Berks, and Delaware counties.
The investigation included a four-month wiretap on multiple phones and resulted in the dismantling of the drug ring, the seizure of large quantities of drugs and firearms and lengthy prison sentences for every member charged.
