PITTSBURGH, Pa. – A resident of Cleveland, Ohio, was sentenced to 21 months in federal prison for his conviction on fentanyl and cocaine trafficking charges, United States Attorney Eric G. Olshan announced today.

Ravon Crockett, 46, was sentenced by Chief United States District Judge Mark R. Hornak. Judge Hornak also ordered Crockett to serve three years of supervised release following his prison sentence. In September 2023, Crockett pleaded guilty in this case to (1) conspiring to distribute fentanyl and cocaine between March 2020 and August 2021, and (2) distributing fentanyl and cocaine on November 16, 2020.

At sentencing, the Court was informed that Crockett distributed fentanyl and cocaine in New Castle, Lawrence County, for several months in 2020. He was on probation at that time for a prior heroin trafficking conviction in Ohio.

Assistant United States Attorney Craig W. Haller prosecuted this case on behalf of the United States.

United States Attorney Olshan commended the Lawrence County Drug Task Force and the Drug Enforcement Administration for the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of Crockett.
