Former pizza shop co-owner admits to trafficking cocaine

COURTHOUSE - The co-owner of a former West Norriton pizza shop admitted Thursday that he trafficked cocaine and conspired with another man to traffic cocaine in Montgomery County earlier this year.

While Timothy Einsig, 26, of the 900 block of Penn Circle, King of Prussia, initially appeared reluctant to admit the crimes, he pleaded guilty in Montgomery County Court to charges of delivering cocaine, conspiracy and participating in a corrupt organization. The open plea means there are no deals between Einsig and prosecutors regarding his potential punishment.
Judge William R. Carpenter will have sole discretion in fashioning Einsig's punishment when he's sentenced later this year. Einsig, who authorities said was a co-owner of the former Burnside Pizza and Grille in the 2100 block of West Main Street, faces a possible maximum sentence of 60 to 120 years in prison and a seven-year mandatory minimum prison term.
Under state law, prosecutors can seek certain mandatory prison terms against offenders based upon the amount of drugs involved in the crimes. A West Norriton man, Robert C. McCulligan, 35, is charged with similar crimes. Einsig was ordered to testify truthfully against McCulligan if needed at any future trial. McCulligan, of the 2000 block of West Main Street, was the other co-owner of the pizza shop.
"The suspects had no legitimate source of income but used their proceeds from drug trafficking to rent, refurbish and stock the Burnside pizza shop," Assistant District Attorney Robert Sander said Thursday. "The illegal money from drug sales was the startup funds for the business."
McCulligan, who remains in the county jail, is awaiting court action. McCulligan and Einsig were arrested in February after authorities, using a wiretap, investigated their activities. The men were arrested during the restaurant's grand opening. County detectives had been keeping an eye on McCulligan since his release from a federal prison in April 2003 and were able to intercept cell and Nextel conversations, according to prosecutors.
Prosecutors alleged Einsig and McCulligan received about 100 phone calls a day and 80 were drug related. According to court records, some of the drug transactions with customers took place on parking lots of businesses and bars in Collegeville, Eagleville, Trooper, Lower Providence, King of Prussia, Conshohocken, Norristown and Plymouth Meeting. According to a criminal complaint, based upon information provided by an informant, detectives determined McCulligan had a storage unit at Storage USA in Plymouth. Detectives alleged McCulligan would get his cocaine supply for customers, make the deliveries and return any leftover cocaine and possible proceeds to the storage unit.
Detectives theorized McCulligan did this to minimize his risk of being caught with drugs by police.
During the investigation, detectives seized seven pounds of cocaine, a pound of marijuana, more than $100,000 in cash and four cars from areas where McCulligan and Einsig lived or frequented, according to prosecutors.
Detectives alleged McCulligan and Einsig maintained, stored, packaged and or sold drugs from the following locations: McCulligan's apartment; Einsig's apartment; storage units at Storage USA; and residences in the 600 block of Clover Lane, Plymouth, and the 1300 block of Berks Street, Philadelphia, both homes of McCulligan's close associates.
