Meth Possession Lands Local Man 5 Years Behind Bars
A former resident of Scott Township, Pennsylvania, has been sentenced to a term of imprisonment of five years, to be followed by five years of supervised release on his conviction on charges of violating federal narcotics laws. United States Attorney Scott W. Brady announced the sentence today.
Twenty-six-year-old Charles D. Outcalt, Jr. received the sentence from United States District Court Judge Mark R. Hornak on Friday. According to information presented to the court, the events that led to Outcalt’s conviction began on July 29, 2016, when Scott Township Police responded to a report of a home invasion in progress. Unbeknownst to police at the time, the reporting party was hallucinating.
Despite this, officers entered the residence to clear it for suspects. They observed Outcalt and another individual in one of the bedrooms. The officers instructed both individuals to put their hands up, but Outcalt kept reaching for a black backpack that was sitting on the bed. Search incident to arrest, officers recovered a small baggie containing crystal methamphetamine from Outcalt as well as $175.00 in his right pants pocket.
The officers also recovered a Cobra Enterprise pistol from the backpack. On the bed, they saw a clear white pipe commonly used to smoke methamphetamine and an electronic scale with white residue. A search warrant was obtained, and officers recovered glass bongs, a small plastic baggie that contained several crystal colored pieces of methamphetamine as well as crystal methamphetamine in an ashtray. Officers recovered a total of over 50 grams of pure methamphetamine from the residence.
Assistant United States Attorney Shanicka L. Kennedy prosecuted this case on behalf of the government. The Scott Township Police and the Drug Enforcement Administration conducted the investigation leading to the indictment in this case.
Outcalt’s conviction and sentencing serve as a reminder of the severe consequences of methamphetamine possession and trafficking. The Grimy Times will continue to monitor this case and provide updates as more information becomes available.
Charles D. Outcalt, Jr. is now facing a lengthy prison sentence and a life of supervised release. His future is uncertain, but one thing is clear: methamphetamine possession will not be tolerated in our community.
With the help of law enforcement agencies like the Scott Township Police and the DEA, we can make our streets safer and our communities stronger.
