A massive methamphetamine trafficking operation in western Pennsylvania has been brought to a close after a local resident was sentenced to over seven-and-a-half years in prison.
Shawn Geer, 49, of Erie, was sentenced in federal court to 92 months in prison, to be followed by four years of supervised release, on his conviction of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.
The crime was committed on July 2, 2023 in the Western District of Pennsylvania, where Geer was found to have possessed with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of a mixture of methamphetamine.
Assistant United States Attorney Maureen Sheehan-Balchon prosecuted this case on behalf of the government, working closely with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Pennsylvania State Police to gather evidence and bring Geer to justice.
United States Attorney Troy Rivetti commended the efforts of these agencies, stating, ‘This case highlights the commitment of our law enforcement partners to protecting the communities of western Pennsylvania from the scourge of methamphetamine trafficking.’
Geer’s sentence reflects the gravity of the crime and the need for accountability in our communities. As we continue to work towards a safer and more just society, it’s clear that those who engage in such reckless behavior will be held accountable for their actions.
