Drug dealer gets 10 years for addict’s death

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Henry Little- Proctor, a McKeesport drug dealer who was acquitted in 2015 of killing a woman, will spend the next decade in federal prison for causing the death of an addict with his fentanyl dealing.

U.S. District Judge Cathy Bissoon imposed that term Thursday, cutting him a break from the 188 months she could have given him.

In addition to the prison time, she ordered him to pay about $6,200 in restitution to the family of his victim for her funeral.

“You have a lot to think about in the next few years,” the judge told him. “I hope our paths don’t cross again.”

Little-Proctor said he would accept his responsibility “as a man” and apologized to the family of the victim, “J.S.,” who died of an overdose in July 2016 in Munhall.

Her family did not appear in court but wrote an email to the prosecutor, Ross Lendhardt, asking for a just punishment.

“I live every day with a broken heart,” her father said.

Little-Proctor, 28, known as “Bundles,” was indicted in 2016 on charges of drug conspiracy resulting in death, heroin and fentanyl dealing, and possession of a gun by a felon. He pleaded in September to some of the counts and took responsibility for the rest.

He had two prior felonies for heroin said.

In 2015, he and another man, Rashawn Walker, were acquitted in the January 2014 shooting death of Susan Sidney near the Crawford Village housing complex in McKeesport. Ms. Sidney was six months pregnant with her sixth child when she was shot on McCleary Street.

The federal drug case against Little-Proctor was brought as part of the U.S. attorney’s crackdown on drug dealers whose wares kill or hurt users. In the last several years, the prosecutor’s office has indicted about 25 defendants on similar charges. dealing, prosecutors
