Eric Seighman, Supervised Release Violations, Pennsylvania 2024

Eric Seighman, 36, of Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania, Sentenced to 2 Years in Prison for Supervised Release Violations

A former Fayette County resident, Eric Seighman, has been sentenced to 24 months in prison for violating multiple conditions of his supervised release, announced United States Attorney Scott W. Brady today.

United States District Judge Cathy Bissoon imposed the sentence on Seighman yesterday, following his arrest by Pittsburgh Police on August 6, 2019, on charges of possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia, which are still pending against him.

According to information presented to the court, Seighman had previously been sentenced to 30 months’ imprisonment and three years of supervised release for conspiring to possess and pass thousands of dollars of counterfeit currency. He had also been sentenced to an additional 24 months’ imprisonment for prior violations of his supervised release.

During his current term of supervised release, which began on August 6, 2019, Seighman was found to have committed another crime, unlawfully possessed a controlled substance, failed to notify his probation officer of his arrest, and failed to reside in a residential re-entry facility and abide by its rules.

Judge Bissoon revoked Seighman’s supervised release and imposed the maximum sentence allowed by law, 24 months in prison, after considering factors such as the seriousness of Seighman’s violations, his criminal history, and the need for deterrence and to protect the public.

Assistant United States Attorney Adam N. Hallowell prosecuted this case on behalf of the government, and United States Attorney Brady commended the U.S. Probation Office and the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police for their efforts in this matter.
