A Washington County man has been sentenced to more than nine years in prison for selling heroin and carrying a gun as a felon, federal prosecutors said.

Matthew Curtis McCombs, 34, who previously lived in the city of Washington, pleaded guilty in November 2019 to possessing with the intent to sell heroin and illegally carrying guns and ammunition, U.S. Attorney Scott W. Brady said.

Upon release from his 112-month sentence, McCombs must spend three years on probation, according to the order by U.S. District Judge David Cercone.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Jerome A. Moschetta prosecuted the case.

Brady thanked the assistance of the Bureau of Alcohol, Toboacco, Firearms and Explosives, Pennsylvania State Police, police from Monroeville and the Washington County District Attorney’s Office in leading to the prosecution of McCombs.
