PITTSBURGH, PA – Marvin Dennis was sentenced to six years
(72 months) in prison for committing heroin and crack cocaine trafficking and
firearm crimes, United States Attorney Scott W. Brady announced today.
Dennis, age 23 of Pittsburgh, was sentenced by United States
District Court Judge Arthur J. Schwab. Judge Schwab also sentenced Dennis to
serve three years of supervised release after his prison term.
In February 2019, Dennis pleaded guilty to conspiring to
distribute heroin and crack cocaine from September 2017 to April 3, 2018, and
to possessing a firearm in furtherance of the drug trafficking conspiracy from
September 2017 to April 3, 2018.
Assistant United States Attorney Craig W. Haller prosecuted
this case on behalf of the United States.
The Pittsburgh Bureau of Police, the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, and the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and
Explosives conducted the investigation leading to the convictions and sentence
in this case. This case was prosecuted as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods
(PSN) which is the centerpiece of the Department of Justice’s violent crime
reduction efforts. PSN is an evidence-based program proven to be effective at
reducing violent crime. Through PSN, a broad spectrum of stakeholders work
together to identify the most pressing violent crime problems in the community
and develop comprehensive solutions to address them. As part of this strategy,
PSN focuses enforcement efforts on the most violent offenders and partners with
locally based prevention and reentry programs for lasting reductions in crime.
