A Capitol Heights man who pleaded guilty to selling crack cocaine was sentenced Monday to 10 years in prison.

Joseph Tyrone Gray Crockett, 28, admitted to selling 61 grams of crack cocaine on July 6, 2006, to an individual in Seat Pleasant who was arrested before police found Crockett’s vehicle, a 1969 Cadillac, containing an empty box for an assault rifle and six rounds of ammunition, according to a news release from the U.S. Department of Justice.

U.S. District Court Judge J. Frederick Motz handed Crockett his sentence, which includes another five years of supervised release.
