Buffalo Man Pleads Guilty to Marijuana Charge
A 31-year-old Buffalo man, Charles Palmer, Jr., has pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute, and to distribute, marijuana. The charge carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison.
According to the investigation, Palmer conspired with his father, co-defendant Charles Palmer, Sr., to possess and distribute marijuana between January 2011 and June 2011. The investigation utilized a court authorized wiretap which included multiple phone calls regarding the distribution of marijuana between Palmer and his father.
Palmer was arrested on June 17, 2011, and law enforcement officers seized from his person quantities of marijuana and cocaine.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Frank T. Pimentel stated that the plea is the culmination of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Charges against Palmer’s father are pending.
The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
Palmer’s sentencing is scheduled for April 8, 2015 at 9:00 a.m. before Chief U. S. District Judge William M. Skretny.
