A Butler man has been sentenced to nearly six years in prison after a conviction on federal drug and weapons laws, U.S. Attorney Scott W. Brady announced Wednesday.
Brandon “Bopp” Morris, 35, of Butler, according to court documents, provided three “bricks” of heroin and an ounce of crack cocaine to a state police informant in June 2016, arranged and paid for in advance.
Later that month, troopers searched Morris’ East Brady Street home and found nearly 40 grams of raw heroin as well as individual packets, nearly 120 grams of crack cocaine, more than $7,600, a 12-gauge shotgun and drug paraphernalia.
Morris, who was sentenced to 70 months, just shy of six years, is prohibited from having firearms due to a previous felony conviction.
State police and the FBI worked together on the investigation.
