Shawn Geer, a 49-year-old Erie resident, has been sentenced to 92 months in prison for possessing with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine. The crime occurred on or about July 2, 2023, in the Western District of Pennsylvania. Geer’s sentencing is the result of an investigation led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Pennsylvania State Police. The prosecution was handled by Assistant United States Attorney Maureen Sheehan-Balchon.
Geer’s case was heard in federal court, where United States District Judge Stephanie L. Haines imposed the sentence. In addition to the prison term, Geer will also serve four years of supervised release. The sentencing brings an end to the legal proceedings against Geer, who was found guilty of methamphetamine trafficking.
The investigation and subsequent prosecution of Geer demonstrate the ongoing efforts of law enforcement agencies to combat drug trafficking in Pennsylvania. The collaboration between the FBI and state police highlights the importance of interagency cooperation in addressing these types of crimes.
United States Attorney Troy Rivetti commended the agencies involved in the investigation, praising their work in bringing Geer to justice. The sentence handed down to Geer serves as a reminder of the severe consequences of engaging in drug trafficking activities.
