United States District Judge Andre M. Davis sentenced Dantangnan
Pittman, 37 years old, of Baltimore, today to 15 years in prison
followed by four years of supervised release for conspiracy to
distribute and possess with intent to distribute five grams or more of
crack cocaine, announced United States Attorney for the District of
Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein. Judge Davis enhanced Pittman’s
sentence upon finding that he is a career offender based on two
previous narcotics distribution convictions.
According to his guilty plea, on December 14, 2005, law
enforcement officers observed Pittman’s residence after a
confidential source advised that Pittman was a source of crack
cocaine for the area of Tivoly Avenue and Harford Road in
Baltimore. Officers observed Pittman leave his apartment, drive to
the 2700 block of Tivoly Avenue, pick up a man, drive back to his
residence, enter his residence while the man waited in the car and
return to the car to hand an object to the man. Pittman drove the
man back to the area of Tivoly and Harford. Both Pittman and the
man were later stopped and officers recovered 50 white top vials of
crack cocaine from the man. A subsequent search of Pittman’s
apartment recovered boxes of ziplock bags and vials, a digital scale,
boxes of white topped packaging material and 48.53 grams of
cocaine base.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein thanked the Drug
Enforcement Administration and the Baltimore City Police
Department for their investigative work, and commended Assistant
United States Attorney James Wallner, who prosecuted the case.
