Seaford Man Sentenced to 80 Months in Prison for Heroin and Gun Charges
A 30-year-old Seaford man has been sentenced to 80 months in federal prison for dealing heroin and possessing a handgun in furtherance of drug trafficking.
Tromar Mapp, 30, of Seaford, Delaware, was sentenced on October 4, 2018, for his crimes, which posed a danger to his community.
According to court documents, Mapp sold heroin out of the Seaford home he shared with his fiancée and four-year-old son. The evidence demonstrated that Mapp was willing to use guns to further his drug trade.
Mapp kept a handgun with an extended magazine in his home and sent threatening text messages to a drug customer for failure to pay a drug debt.
‘The defendant presented a danger to his community, both by selling potentially deadly heroin and by possessing a gun in furtherance of his drug dealing,’ stated U.S. Attorney David C. Weiss. ‘We will aggressively pursue such defendants and do our best to insure that they are held accountable for their conduct.’
The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives with assistance from the Delaware State Police and the Seaford Police Department. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jennifer K. Welsh and Alexander Mackler.
Mapp’s 80-month sentence is a result of his involvement in heroin trafficking and possession of a firearm. His crimes not only put his community at risk but also his own family, including his fiancée and young child.
The sentence handed down to Mapp serves as a reminder that the U.S. Attorney’s Office will continue to aggressively pursue individuals involved in heroin trafficking and gun-related crimes.
