Buffalo Man Sentenced to 10 Years for Cocaine Trafficking
A Buffalo man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for his role in a major cocaine trafficking operation. Ramone Perry, 32, was convicted of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine.
Perry was arrested after being intercepted over New York State wiretaps arranging for the purchase of cocaine from Wallace Peace and others. During the investigation, search warrants were executed, resulting in the seizure of 17 firearms, more than five kilograms of cocaine powder, and in excess of 200 grams of crack cocaine.
The investigation, which was led by the Drug Enforcement Administration, involved a multi-agency effort. Special Agents of the Drug Enforcement Administration, under the direction of Brian R. Crowell, Special Agent in Charge, New York Region, worked alongside Special Agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, under the direction of Francis J. Christiano, Resident Agent in Charge, and Special Agents of the Buffalo Police Department, under the direction of Daniel Derenda, Commissioner.
Perry’s sentencing is the culmination of an investigation that has already led to charges against another suspect, Wallace Peace, who is awaiting trial on drug and gun charges.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Mary Clare Kane, who handled the case, stated that the defendant was arrested after being intercepted over New York State wiretaps arranging for the purchase of cocaine from Wallace Peace and others.
U.S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara sentenced Perry to 10 years in prison and eight years of supervised release. The sentencing is a significant blow to the cocaine trafficking operation and serves as a reminder of the consequences of engaging in such illegal activity.
