CAMDEN, N.J. – A Gloucester County man was sentenced today to 120 months in prison for possessing with intent to distribute thousands of methamphetamine pills and possessing two firearms as a felon, U.S. Attorney Philip R. Sellinger announced today.
George W. Joyce, 40, of Glassboro, previously pleaded guilty before U.S. District Christine P. O’Hearn to an information charging him with one count of possessing with intent to distribute more than 50 grams of methamphetamine and one count of possessing a firearm as a felon. Judge O’Hearn imposed the sentence today in Camden federal court.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
On March 29, 2023, law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at Joyce’s residence in Glassboro, New Jersey. Officers recovered from Joyce’s bedroom approximately 2,587 methamphetamine pills that Joyce admitted to possessing with the intent to distribute to others. Joyce further admitted to possessing two loaded firearms that officers also recovered from his bedroom. Joyce’s possession of the firearms was unlawful because he was a felon.
In addition to the prison term, Judge O’Hearn sentenced Joyce to 4 years of supervised release.
U.S. Attorney Sellinger credited special agents of FBI’s Wilmington Resident Agency, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge William J. DelBagno in Baltimore, with the investigation leading to the sentencing. He also thanked the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Delaware, the FBI’s Philadelphia Field Office, the Delaware State Police, and the New Castle County (Delaware) Police Department for their assistance.
