PITTSBURGH, Pa. – A Farrell resident has been sentenced to 7 years in federal prison for committing drug trafficking and firearms crimes.
Dimetrius Morris, 39, was sentenced by United States District Judge Robert J. Colville, who also ordered Morris to serve 3 years of supervised release following his prison sentence.
Morris previously pleaded guilty in this case to possessing with intent to distribute cocaine, fentanyl, and methamphetamine on February 20, 2020, and to possessing a firearm in furtherance of that drug trafficking crime.
Prior to that date, Morris had been convicted in federal and state courts of several drug trafficking and weapons crimes throughout the previous 15 years, and spent nearly 10 of those years in prison serving the various sentences imposed for those crimes and corresponding supervised release/parole violations.
Assistant United States Attorney Craig W. Haller prosecuted this case on behalf of the United States.
The Sharon Police Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Farrell Police Department, and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives conducted the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of Morris.
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 gun violence and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
