Syracuse Man Sentenced to Up to 5 Years in Prison for Fentanyl and Methamphetamine Trafficking

A 26-year-old Syracuse man has admitted to distributing large quantities of fentanyl and methamphetamine in the city.

According to officials, Diquan Hall, of Syracuse, pled guilty to two federal drug distribution felony charges on February 7, 2024. As part of his guilty plea, Hall admitted to distributing 15 bricks (17 grams) of fentanyl and approximately 2 ounces (52.6 grams) of methamphetamine in Liverpool, New York, during an ATF undercover enforcement operation.

Additionally, Hall admitted to distributing 15 bricks of fentanyl (14.1 grams) and possessing with intent to distribute 19.8 grams of cocaine powder in Liverpool on February 15, 2024, at which time he was arrested by ATF and DEA Special Agents, SPD Detectives, and New York State Parole Officers. Hall was on New York State Parole at the time he distributed the controlled substances in this case and was wearing an electronic location monitoring device.

As a result of his guilty plea, Hall faces a minimum sentence of 5 years in federal prison, a fine of up to $5 million, and a post-incarceration period of supervised release of at least 4 years and up to life. A defendant’s sentence is imposed by a judge based on the particular statute the defendant is charged with violating, the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other factors.

The case was investigated by the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (NY DOCCS-Parole), and the Syracuse Police Department-Intelligence Section (SPD-Intel). The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Southwick.

Sentencing is scheduled for April 16, 2024 in federal court.
