HARRISBURG – The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that Calvin Foust, age 40, of Dover Township, Pennsylvania, was charged yesterday with drug trafficking and firearms offenses.
According to U.S. Attorney Gerard M. Karam, the indictment alleges that Foust distributed methamphetamine and engaged in the business of manufacturing and dealing firearms without a license in Cumberland and Dauphin Counties between March 1, 2021 and April 26, 2022.
This case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Assistant U.S. Attorney Christian T. Haugsby is prosecuting the case.
The maximum penalty under federal law for the offenses charged in the indictment is up to 105 years’ imprisonment, a $11,250,000 fine, and up to lifetime supervised release. A sentence following a finding of guilt is imposed by the Judge after consideration of the applicable federal sentencing statutes and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
This case is also part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. On May 26, 2021, the Department launched a violent crime reduction strategy strengthening PSN based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results.
Indictments are only allegations. All persons charged by indictment are presumed to be innocent unless and until found guilty in court.
