Pittsburgh Felon Sentenced to Six Years in Prison for Drug Trafficking Violations

PITTSBURGH, Pa. – A resident of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was sentenced in federal court to 72 months of imprisonment, to be followed by five years of supervised release, on his conviction of violating federal narcotics laws, Acting United States Attorney Troy Rivetti announced today.

Chief United States District Judge Mark R. Hornak imposed the sentence on Eric Gerome Clancy, 38.

According to information presented to the Court, on May 15, 2024, following a stop for traffic violations by Mt. Lebanon police and a subsequent search of Clancy’s vehicle, officers discovered nine “bricks” containing a mixture of fentanyl, methamphetamine, and xylazine. Officers also recovered from the vehicle several ounces of crack and powder cocaine, as well as a scale, in addition to finding a large amount of U.S. currency on Clancy. At the time of the offense, Clancy was on federal supervised release following a 90-month sentence in federal prison for a drug trafficking and firearms conviction.

Assistant United States Attorney V. Joseph Sonson prosecuted this case on behalf of the government.

Acting United States Attorney Rivetti commended the Mt. Lebanon Police Department and Drug Enforcement Administration for the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of Clancy.
