Monroeville Felon Charged with Multiple Federal Drug and Firearms Offenses

PITTSBURGH - A resident of Monroeville, Pennsylvania, has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Pittsburgh on charges of violating federal narcotics and firearms laws, United States Attorney Scott W. Brady announced today.

The four-count Indictment named Davon Carter Williams, also known as “Big Boy”, age 31, as the sole defendant.

According to the indictment, from April 2018 until February 6, 2019, Williams conspired with others to possess with the intent to distribute 1 kilogram or more of heroin, a Schedule I controlled substance. The indictment further alleges that on February 6, 2019, Williams possessed with the intent to distribute and did distribute fentanyl, a Schedule II controlled substance, and heroin, a Schedule I controlled substance. The indictment further alleges that from December 2016 until February 6, 2017, Williams conspired with others to possess with the intent to distribute heroin, a Schedule I controlled substance. Further, Williams knowingly possessed a firearm and ammunition as a convicted felon and in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime on two occasions. Federal law prohibits those convicted of crimes punishable by imprisonment exceeding one year of possessing firearms.

The law provides for a maximum total sentence of life in prison, a fine of $17,000,000 or both.  Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed would be based upon the seriousness of the offenses and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant. 

Assistant United States Attorney Douglas C. Maloney is prosecuting this case on behalf of the government.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Monroeville Police Department conducted the investigation leading to the Indictment in this case.

An indictment is an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
