PHILADELPHIA, PA.- On Wednesday, a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, man learned he would be spending the next 15 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to possessing nearly ten pounds of methamphetamine and being a convicted felon in possession of ammunition.
On Wednesday, February 5, 2025, Tory Garvin, 49, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, appeared in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Wendy Beetlestone to 180 months in federal prison, to be followed by five years of supervised release for his previously entered guilty plea on federal narcotics and ammunition violations.
According To The U.S. Attorney’s Office
   According to U.S. Attorney Jacqueline C. Romero and documents filed with the District Court, Garvin was initially charged by a federal indictment in June 2022 and, in October 2024, pleaded guilty to one count of Distribution of 50 Grams or More of Methamphetamine; one count of Possession with Intent to Distribute 50 Grams or More of Methamphetamine; and Unlawful Possession of Ammunition by a Convicted Felon.
“Tory Garvin was a significant supplier of methamphetamine in Philadelphia, found in possession of about 10 pounds of the drugs,” said U.S. Attorney Romero. “My office and our partners will continue to bring to justice the people flooding our neighborhoods with illegal narcotics to help boost the city’s safety, health, and quality of life.”
