Harvey (Black) Christian.

The head of a drug trafficking operation that terrorized a Staten Island neighborhood for decades was punished Friday with a 50-year prison sentence.

Harvey (Black) Christian and his brother, Anthony, were convicted in 2014 for ruling their turf in the Clifton section of Staten Island with fear and violence for over 20 years.

On Friday, Brooklyn federal judge Eric Vitaliano brought down his own iron fist on Harvey Christian, 44, for his "life of crime" and a long running "reign of terror" in the Park Hill housing complex.

Christian's convictions also included two murder plots.
