Charisma Royster, Distribution of Crack Cocaine, New York 2014

A shocking case of crack cocaine distribution has come to a close in Lackawanna, New York.

On September 15, 2014, Charisma Royster, 25, of Lackawanna, sold a quantity of crack cocaine to a confidential informant working with officers of the Lackawanna Police Department.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Edward H. White stated that subsequent analysis confirmed the presence of crack cocaine.

Royster is one of 18 defendants arrested in a drug trafficking operation that included sales made in and near the Gates Housing Project in Lackawanna.

To date, six defendants have been convicted. 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.

The sentencing is the result of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the direction of Adam S. Cohen, Special Agent in Charge.

U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul Jr. announced that Charisma Royster was sentenced to two years probation by Senior U.S. District Judge William M. Skretny.
