    Maurice Collier, 33, was sentenced to 97 months in prison after pleading guilty in December in the U.S. District Court of Pennsylvania to charges of possession with intent to distribute heroin and cocaine, possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug crime and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

    Collier will also have to serve three years of probation when he gets out of prison.

    The charges stem from a Nov. 4, 2020, search warrant served at a North Mercer Street home in New Castle. Reports said drugs, a stolen handgun, a Cadillac and $5,000 cash were seized by investigators.
