Judge Sentences Pittsburgh Man to 5 Years in Prison for Heroin Distribution Scheme

PITTSBURGH – Christopher Bradley-Bey was sentenced to 60 months in federal prison for conspiring to distribute at least 100 grams of heroin, Acting United States Attorney Soo C. Song announced today.

Bradley-Bey, age 24, formerly of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was sentenced by United States District Court Judge Nora Barry Fischer. Judge Fischer ordered that Bradley-Bey serve four years of supervised release after he is released from prison. Bey’s sentencing guideline range for the heroin trafficking conviction was increased for his possession of a dangerous weapon.

Assistant United States Attorneys Rachael L. Dizard and Craig W. Haller prosecuted this case on behalf of the United States.

The Drug Enforcement Administration and the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police led the multi-agency investigation of this case that also included the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, the Department of Homeland Security/Homeland Security Investigations, the United States Marshals Service, the Pennsylvania State Police, the Scott Township Police Department, the Munhall Police Department, the Baldwin Police Department, and the Pleasant Hills Police Department. 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 and state agencies to work together to successfully identify, investigate, and prosecute major interstate and international drug trafficking organizations and other criminal enterprises.
