ERIE — A former resident of Grand Valley, in Warren County, pleaded guilty in federal court to charges of violating federal drug and firearms laws, U.S. Attorney Cindy K. Chung announced.

Trevor Allen McGarvie, 25, pleaded guilty to two counts before U.S. District Judge Susan Paradise Baxter. In connection with the guilty plea, the court was advised that from in and around June 2018, to on or about February 28, 2020, McGarvie conspired with his co-defendants to possess with intent to distribute and distribute a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of methamphetamine as they participated in a methamphetamine distribution network that trafficked methamphetamine from Akron, Ohio and Erie, Pennsylvania into Crawford, Venango and Warren counties.

In addition, McGarvie plead guilty to possessing a firearm with an obliterated serial number. Baxter scheduled sentencing for June 17, 2022 at 1:30 p.m.

The law provides for a total sentence of 25 years in prison, a fine of $1,250,000, or both. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed is based upon the seriousness of the offenses and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant. Pending sentencing, the court continued McGarvie on bond.

Assistant United States Attorney Paul S. Sellers is prosecuting this case on behalf of the government. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Pennsylvania State Police, Troop E, Vice Unit, the Titusville Police Department, the Warren County Drug Task Force, the Warren County Sherriff’s Office and the Crawford County Sherriff’s Office conducted the investigation that led to the prosecution of McGarvie.
