Local Man Sentenced for Crack Sales and Firearm Possession
A Rocky Mount man has been sentenced to 192 months in prison for his role in selling crack cocaine and possessing a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking. Tony Lavores Davis, 43, entered a guilty plea to the charges on June 8, 2023.
According to court documents, investigators with the Nash County Sheriff’s Office received information in the summer of 2022 that Davis was selling crack cocaine out of his residence on Kingston Avenue in Rocky Mount. This was not Davis’ first conviction, as he had recently been released from the Bureau of Prisons after serving an 81-month combined sentence for a previous conviction in the Eastern District of North Carolina for Distribution of Cocaine Base.
Nash County Sheriff’s Office conducted a series of controlled purchases from Davis at his residence from July through September of 2022. On September 26, 2022, investigators executed a search warrant at Davis’ residence and seized quantities of crack cocaine, powder cocaine, pills containing methamphetamine, and a loaded .380 handgun.
Davis was able to bond out of the Nash County jail and quickly resumed selling crack cocaine. Investigators were able to conduct three additional controlled purchases of crack from Davis in October and December of 2022.
The case was investigated by the Nash County Sheriff’s Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. Assistant U.S. Attorney Caroline Webb prosecuted the case.
U.S. District Judge James C. Dever III handed down the sentence. Michael Easley, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina, made the announcement.
