PITTSBURGH — A president of a Pittsburgh youth football organization has been indicted by a federal grand jury on drug charges.
Martin Langford, along with seven others, including a name that was redacted, are charged in the indictment.
According to the paperwork unsealed Wednesday, Langford is accused of knowingly, intentionally and unlawfully distributing and possessing with intent to distribute a controlled substance on June 1 and 7 in 2025 and on Aug. 7, 2026. Court documents say the violations involved “500 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of cocaine.”
The indictment says that Langford was previously convicted in 2004 for conspiracy to distribute 5 kilograms or more of cocaine.
Langford is the president of the Westside Mustangs Youth Athletic Association in Pittsburgh’s West End. His program also received Stop the Violence funding from the City of Pittsburgh. That taxpayer money was handed out to programs across the city to reduce violence in the community.
Langford was also recently honored by the Pittsburgh Courier as a man of excellence.
