United States Attorney Jacqueline C. Romero announced that Tory Garvin, 49, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison. This sentence was handed down by United States District Court Judge Wendy Beetlestone. Following his prison term, Garvin will also face five years of supervised release.

Garvin was charged in June 2022 and pleaded guilty in October of the following year. He faced charges for distributing 50 grams or more of methamphetamine, possession with intent to distribute the same amount, and possession of ammunition as a felon.

"Tory Garvin was a significant supplier of methamphetamine in Philadelphia, found in possession of about 10 pounds of the drug," stated U.S. Attorney Romero. "My office and our partners will continue to bring to justice the people flooding our neighborhoods with illegal narcotics, to help boost the city’s safety, health, and quality of life."

The investigation was conducted by the DEA and the Pennsylvania State Police under the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) program. The prosecution is being handled by Assistant United States Attorneys Timothy Lanni and Angella Middleton.
