SCRANTON- The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle
District of Pennsylvania announced that on March 12, 2020, United States
District Court Judge Robert D. Mariani sentenced Kerry Sprouse, age 23, of East
Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, to 24 months’ imprisonment for drug trafficking.
According to United States Attorney David J. Freed, Sprouse
distributed and possessed with the intent to distribute cocaine in February
2016, in Monroe County, Pennsylvania.
Sprouse previously admitted during his guilty plea, to having
distributed between 100 and 200 grams of cocaine as part of his trafficking
activities.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and the Pennsylvania State Police. Assistant U.S. Attorney Sean
A. Camoni is prosecuting the case.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a
program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities
they serve to reduce violent crime and make our neighborhoods safer for
everyone. The Department of Justice reinvigorated PSN in 2017 as part of the
Department’s renewed focus on targeting violent criminals, directing all U.S.
Attorney’s Offices to work in partnership with federal, state, local, and
tribal law enforcement and the local community to develop effective,
locally-based strategies to reduce violent crime.
