A Charleroi man was sentenced in federal court Thursday to more than 15 years in prison for selling cocaine.
According to a press release from the Department of Justice, police executed a search warrant at Keith McCrae’s home in March 2021. Authorities found about 34 grams of cocaine on McCrae’s person, the release states. The search also turned up $3,300 and multiple cellphones.
He entered a guilty plea in June to a charge of possession with intent to distribute.
U.S. District Judge Christy Criswell sentenced McCrae to 188 months of jail time, and an additional four years of supervised release.
Perryopolis police, state police and the FBI were involved in the investigation that led to McCrae’s arrest and conviction.
