Timothy Brown pled guilty to several drug-related charges and was sentenced Monday. 

Officials said Brown was one of the larger heroin dealers in the area.

Brown was sentenced 10-25 years in jail for possessing, selling and using heroin.

The Blair County District Attorney’s Office began investigating Brown in 2014 after he made a controlled buy. In 2016, police got a search warrant for his home after seeing drugs in plain sight at his home.

“Found over 2700 bags of heroin there were what we call double sealed. So they were in the little glassine wax paper packets and they were in mini zip packets too. What that means, is it’s a cost certainty for a heroin buyer that the bags haven’t been tampered with or cut again, so they’re supposed to be stronger,” Blair County First Assistant District Attorney Peter Weeks said.

Police also seized $30,000 – which officials Brown got from selling drugs.
