Rochester Man Goes to Prison for Cocaine Conspiracy
A Rochester man has been sentenced to 5 years in prison for his role in a cocaine conspiracy. Dante Bolling, 25, of Rochester, NY, was convicted of conspiracy to possession with intent to distribute, and to distribute, 500 grams or more of cocaine, and possession of ammunition by an unlawful user of a controlled substance.
According to authorities, between August 2020, and August 25, 2022, Bolling conspired with others to sell quantities of cocaine in the Rochester area. On August 25, 2022, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Bolling’s Mayflower Street residence, seizing approximately 66 grams of cocaine and drug trafficking paraphernalia.
That same day, Bolling, knowing that he was an unlawful user of marijuana, possessed a firearm and ammunition. The sentencing is the culmination of an investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Bryan Miller, New York Field Division.
The sentencing took place on an unknown date and Bolling was sentenced to serve 60 months in prison by Chief U.S. District Judge Elizabeth A. Wolford. Assistant U.S. Attorney Katelyn M. Hartford handled the case.
This investigation is a prime example of law enforcement working together to take down individuals involved in the illicit drug trade. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives will continue to work tirelessly to disrupt and dismantle these organizations.
