7-Year Prison Sentence Handed Down For Drugs, Weapons Possession: Court

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — A District Heights man has been sentenced to 87 months in federal prison followed by four years of supervised release for possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine and cocaine, and for illegal possession of a machine gun.

According to 33-year-old Larry Clinton Proctor's plea, between May 13, 2021, and June 24, 2021, law enforcement arranged four controlled purchases of a total of approximately 194 grams of crack cocaine from Proctor. On each occasion, Proctor confirmed the amount of the purchase and the meeting time and location. At the direction of law enforcement, the person conducting the buys would meet with Proctor, obtain the narcotics, pay Proctor, then leave the area.

As detailed in his plea agreement, after the controlled buy on June 24, 2021, law enforcement stopped Proctor’s vehicle and Proctor was arrested. The serial numbers of the cash recovered from Proctor’s vehicle matched the serial numbers of the pre-recorded funds used by law enforcement in the drug transaction with Proctor.

A search warrant also was executed at Proctor’s residence June 24, 2021. Law enforcement recovered 27 firearms from Proctor’s home, including a .357 caliber machinegun with an obliterated serial number and a 3D printed switch, which made the firearm fully automatic. The other guns recovered included two 12-gauge semi-automatic shotguns; a .357 caliber semi-automatic pistol; three .44 caliber revolvers; a 9mm semi-automatic pistol; five .45 caliber semi-automatic pistols—two with obliterated serial numbers; two 7.62x25 caliber semi-automatic pistols; a .45 caliber/.410 gauge caliber revolver; two .500 caliber revolver; three 7.62x39mm caliber semi-automatic pistols—one with an obliterated serial number; a.22LR caliber semi-automatic pistol; two .50 caliber semi-automatic pistols; a .308 caliber semi-automatic pistol with an obliterated serial number; and two firearms silencers.

Law enforcement also recovered approximately 1,358 rounds of ammunition; multiple high-capacity magazines; a tactical scope; speed loaders; two body armor vests; other firearms parts and accessories; and a digital scale with cocaine residue.

A canine unit zeroed in on a gold Mercedes sedan parked in front of Proctor’s home during the search. Law enforcement subsequently obtained and on June 30, 2021, executed, a search warrant on the Mercedes. Approximately 351 grams of cocaine and approximately 75 grams of crack cocaine was found in the car.

Proctor admitted that he possessed the crack cocaine and cocaine with intent to distribute it and that he possessed the machinegun and other firearms to facilitate his drug distribution.
