A Farrell crack dealer was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison.

U.S. District Judge Nora Barry Fischer imposed the sentence on Henry Bruce, 39, federal prosectutors announced Wednesday.

It’s the second time that Bruce was busted and received a 10-year sentence.

He was also ordered to serve an eight-year term of supervised release after the prison sentence.

Authorities said Bruce, a lifelong Farrell resident, was arrested with crack cocaine on June 28.

He also possessed drug packaging paraphernalia, a digital scale and more than $19,000.

Authorities said Bruce had a prior felony drug conviction, for which he was sentenced on March 7, 2008 to 10 years in prison, so he was subject to enhanced penalties.

The state Office of Attorney General, the Mercer County Drug Task Force, and the FBI conducted the investigation leading to Bruce’s — prosecution.
