PITTSBURGH - Henry T. Little-Proctor a/k/a “Bundles", of McKeesport, Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty in federal court, on Sept. 26, 2017, to multiple charges of violating federal narcotics and firearms laws, Acting United States Attorney Soo C. Song announced today.
Henry T. Little-Proctor a/k/a Bundles, age 27, formerly of McKeesport, Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty to five counts before United States District Judge Cathy Bissoon.
In connection with the guilty plea, the court was advised that Little-Proctor conspired to distribute and possessed with intent to distribute both heroin and the even more potent synthetic opiate fentanyl, from late 2015 through July 20, 2016. Specifically, the investigation revealed that Little-Proctor was involved with a fentanyl sale on July 13, 2016, and a heroin sale on July 18, 2016. DEA then executed a federal search warrant on July 20, 2016 at a residence utilized by Little-Proctor. There, federal agents located Full Metal Jacketed ammunition for a.223 Rem caliber assault-style rifle and.22 caliber ammunition, as well as 25 “bundles" (250 stamp bags) of heroin. A receipt for the purchase of the.223 Rem caliber ammunition from Gander Mountain was located in the residence and showed that it was purchased on May 14, 2016, along with two extended length magazines for a AR-15 assault-style rifle and a $100 tactical light. The firearms themselves have yet to be located.
Federal law prohibits a person convicted of a prior felony offense from possessing either a firearm or ammunition and the Court was advised that Little-Proctor had been convicted of multiple crimes, including two prior convictions for heroin dealing.
The defendant specifically admitted to selling the fentanyl that caused the July 2016 death of a young woman.
Judge Cathy Bissoon scheduled sentencing for February 7, 2018, at 2:15 p.m. and remanded the defendant back to the custody of the United States Marshal Service pending the sentencing. The Court ordered a Pre-Sentence Report to be prepared by the United States Probation Office detailing the defendant’s background including his criminal, family, educational and work histories in order to determine if the proposed sentence of 10 years in prison, at least 6 years of Supervised Release and restitution to the victim’s family should be approved by the Court.
Assistant United States Attorney Ross E. Lenhardt, of the Violent Crime Section of the U.S. Attorney’s Office, is prosecuting this case on behalf of the government.
Special Agents and Task Force Officers from the Drug Enforcement Administration and law enforcement officers from the Duquesne Police Department, Homestead Police Department, and Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office conducted the investigation that led to the prosecution of Little-Proctor.
The investigation was funded by the federal Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force program (OCDETF). The OCDETF program supplies critical federal funding and coordination that allows federal, state, and local agencies to work together to successfully identify, investigate, and prosecute major interstate and international drug trafficking organizations and other criminal enterprises.
