A Baltimore man has been sentenced to over a decade in federal prison for drug trafficking and firearm possession. Timothy Darren Proctor, 41, was handed down a sentence of 130 months in prison by U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis, followed by five years of supervised release. The conviction came after a federal jury found Proctor guilty on October 7, 2024, of possessing a firearm as a convicted felon, possessing fentanyl with the intent to distribute it, and carrying a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.

The case, announced by U.S. Attorney Kelly O. Hayes for the District of Maryland, along with Special Agent in Charge Charles Doerrer of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and Chief George Nader of the Prince George’s County Police Department (PGPD), stemmed from an incident on July 10, 2021. Officers had responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle in Temple Hills, Maryland. Upon arrival, they found Proctor unresponsive in the driver’s seat of the vehicle, with the windows rolled up and doors locked.
After officers managed to rouse Proctor and he exited the vehicle, law enforcement discovered a clear bag containing approximately 10 grams of fentanyl in his front pocket. A loaded firearm was subsequently found in the vehicle’s center console, containing 13 rounds of ammunition and one in the chamber. Evidence presented at trial indicated that Proctor possessed the firearm in connection with his fentanyl drug trafficking activities. His prior felony convictions meant he was legally prohibited from possessing a firearm. Further investigation at the jail revealed an additional bag containing 29 smaller, clear bags, also filled with fentanyl.
This prosecution is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a federal initiative aimed at reducing violent crime and gun violence by fostering collaboration between law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve. The program emphasizes building trust, supporting community-based violence prevention efforts, and implementing targeted enforcement strategies.
