A federal magistrate is deciding whether to approve a plea deal with a Youngstown man who told the FBI that he has turned from dealing drugs to robbing other drug dealers.

Hure Lamont Orr, who turns 60 next week, appeared in U.S. District Court on Thursday and pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute controlled substances.

Court documents don’t reveal other details of the deal offered by prosecutors.

An affidavit submitted by an FBI agent, an investigation that began in the summer of 2021 determined that Orr, who also goes by the nickname “Monty”, operates what investigators describe as a “significant narcotic distribution operation”.

The affidavit says after Orr agreed to speak with an agent early last year, he turned over a baggie containing 30 grams of cocaine.  That same day agents searched his home on Overland Avenue in Youngstown, where they found two loaded handguns, one of which had been reported stolen.

The FBI says that during the interview, Orr claimed he got the cocaine from someone who had also been supplying others for $25,000 per kilogram.

Orr said he had paid $450.00 for a half ounce of cocaine and that the supplier had fronted him with an additional half ounce of cocaine, which Orr said he would pay back later. The affidavit states that Orr admitted that he had packaged 5 grams of cocaine for sale.

Claiming he had several cocaine suppliers; Orr told the interviewer that one of them had recently been arrested with two kilograms of cocaine. Orr described the supplier as a middleman.

Orr, according to the affidavit, told the FBI that while he would only buy powder cocaine, he would make crack cocaine by cooking the powder himself.

Although he told the interviewer that he kept guns to protect his home, Orr also said he used them to rob other drug traffickers, explaining "I'm a different breed man, I'm not the average dope boy that be on the street. I am a killer for first and foremost. I'm coming to get you dawg, I'm coming to rob you, I'm coming to get your dope dawg.”

Orr claimed to no longer be selling cocaine, saying that’s where the money is at: “Ain't no money selling no dope dawg, It's not. I'd rather stick a gun in your face, you gon tell me where the dope at, I'm getting your dope and your money,” Orr told the FBI according to the affidavit.

Orr has previous convictions of conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute cocaine and possession with the intent to distribute cocaine or cocaine base.

Orr’s case has been referred to probation authorities for preparation of a Presentence Investigation Report. Sentencing is set for August 6.

Until then, Orr remains in the custody of U.S. Marshals.
