Selinsgrove man sentenced for drug trafficking
Selinsgrove, Pa. — A Selinsgrove man was sentenced in federal prison for trafficking several types of hard drugs in Snyder and Union counties, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced. Scotch Bruce Hanning, 46, was sentenced Nov. 3 by Chief U.S. District Judge Matthew W. Brann to 17 years for possession with intent to distribute fentanyl, methamphetamine, and crack cocaine, U.S. Attorney Brian D. Miller said. On Jan. 3, 2023, law enforcement stopped Hanning in Lewisburg and found fentanyl, buprenorphine and crystal methamphetamine on him, the office said. A police dog then alerted to more fentanyl, crack cocaine and crystal methamphetamine in the vehicle. A search warrant at the property where Hanning lived turned up additional crack cocaine and fentanyl, according to the office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Luisa Honora Berti prosecuted the case. The FBI Philadelphia’s Scranton Resident Agency, the Pennsylvania State Police, and the Lycoming County Narcotics Enforcement Unit investigated the case.
