A Mt. Pleasant man is facing serious time after a federal grand jury in Pittsburgh charged him with narcotics distribution and firearm violations, U.S. Attorney Eric G. Olshan's office confirmed.
Warren Greenleaf, 40, stands accused in a four-count indictment for possession of a firearm and ammunition by a previously convicted felon on or about November 1, 2023, and on a November 14, 2023, incident involving intent to distribute cocaine, combined with firearm possession as a convicted felon which prosecutors assert was related to drug trafficking activities the potential penalties for these charges range starkly from a minimum of 5 years to the possibility of life imprisonment, with fines that could reach a staggering $2,000,000, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office official release.
Federal Sentencing Guidelines will steer the court when determining Greenleaf's sentence, due consideration given not only to the gravity of the offenses but also to his previous encounters with the law.
Assistant United States Attorney Michael R. Ball is at the helm of the prosecution on the government's behalf for a case that unfolded from a collaborative investigative effort by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Tarentum Borough Police Department, Harrison Township Police Department, and the Pennsylvania Attorney General Narcotics Task Force, which are the units credited with leading the push towards the indictment.
