Doylestown Man, 32, Gets 11.5 Years For Meth Trafficking

DOYLESTOWN, PA — A 32-year-old Doylestown man will serve 140 months, or around 11.5 years, for trafficking methamphetamine, the United States Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania said Tuesday.

Nicholas Eastman was sentenced Friday by U.S. District Court Judge Christopher C. Conner.

According to U.S. Attorney John C. Gurganus, Eastman previously pleaded guilty to possessing at least 500 grams of methamphetamine for further distribution in the Middle and Eastern Districts of Pennsylvania between 2017 and 2019.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Pennsylvania State Police investigated his case.

Assistant U.S. Attorney William Behe prosecuted the case part of the joint federal, state, and local Project Safe Neighborhoods Program, the centerpiece of the Department of Justice’s violent crime reduction efforts.

The program's goal is for "a broad spectrum of stakeholders" to identify the most pressing violent crime problems in the community and develop comprehensive solutions to address them, focusing enforcement efforts on the most violent offenders and partnering with locally based prevention and reentry programs.
