Buffalo Man Gets 77 Months for Cocaine Conspiracy
A Buffalo man has been sentenced to 77 months in prison for his role in a cocaine conspiracy that spanned several years.
Jerome C. Crosby, 58, was convicted of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and distribute cocaine, and was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Richard J. Arcara on [date].
Crosby will also forfeit $58,328 in United States currency, proceeds of the narcotics trafficking.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Mary Clare Kane stated that between January 2008 and July 29, 2008, Crosby conspired with others to supply kilogram quantities of cocaine that he obtained in New York City to Wallace Peace and others.
The cocaine was then distributed in the Central Park area of Buffalo.
Crosby was one of 31 defendants arrested and convicted in this case. He is the 29th defendant to be sentenced.
The case was the culmination of an investigation by the Buffalo Police Department, under the direction of Commissioner Daniel Derenda, the Drug Enforcement Administration, under the direction of Acting Special Agent in Charge James J. Hunt, New York Field Division, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, under the direction of Acting Special Agent in Charge James S. Higgins, New York Field Division.
The investigation and prosecution of this case is a significant blow to organized crime in the Buffalo area, and a testament to the hard work and dedication of law enforcement officials.
Crosby’s sentence serves as a warning to others who would engage in similar activities, and we will continue to work tirelessly to bring those responsible to justice.
