A Richmond man was sentenced Wednesday to three years and 10 months in prison for possession with intent to distribute heroin.

Samuel Tarry, 27, was previously convicted of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and was sentenced to five years in prison, with four years and six months suspended, with a condition of good behavior. He was released from prison in 2022. Due to his previous firearm conviction, Tarry was prohibited from possessing another gun.

As a confirmed member of the 13th Gang, Tarry was assigned to a specialized probation officer.

According to court records, less than one year later, detectives with the Richmond Police Department conducted a search of Tarry’s residence, which he shared with his girlfriend and their 5-year-old child.

Detectives recovered several items including a semiautomatic firearm and associated ammunition, 75 grams of heroin and a ledger of account names, money movement, cash deposits and credit and debit cards in the names of multiple people.
