Justin Rashaad Brown, Crack Cocaine Distribution, Pennsylvania 2021

A York man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for distributing crack cocaine and possessing a firearm as a previously convicted felon.

Justin Rashaad Brown, 31, of York, Pennsylvania, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Sylvia H. Rambo on March 10, 2021, to 15 years’ imprisonment to be followed by six years of supervised release.

According to Acting United States Attorney Bruce D. Brandler, Brown sold crack cocaine in York on multiple occasions in 2016. Law enforcement executed search warrants at Brown’s residence in July 2016 and November 2016, and found crack cocaine during each search and a stolen revolver during the second search.

The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the York County Drug Task Force, and the Pennsylvania State Police. Assistant U.S. Attorney Carlo D. Marchioli and former Assistant U.S. Attorney James T. Clancy prosecuted 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 PSN program was reinvigorated 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.
