Wife of Hell’s Angels Member Sentenced for Methamphetamine Trafficking in Rochester, NY
A former wife of a Hell’s Angels member has been sentenced to three years probation for her role in a massive methamphetamine trafficking ring in Rochester, New York.
Donna Boon, 50, of Oakfield, NY, was convicted of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute, and to distribute, methamphetamine, and was sentenced to three years probation, which includes 12 months home detention, by U.S. District Judge Charles J. Siragusa on [no date specified].
According to court documents, Boon’s husband, James Henry McAuley, Jr., was a member and Vice President of the Rochester Hell’s Angels and was the leader of a methamphetamine trafficking network. McAuley located a source of methamphetamine supply in the Monterey, California area in 2002, and he and other members of the conspiracy traveled to California on numerous occasions to obtain pound-size quantities of methamphetamine.
Boon distributed quantities of methamphetamine to others, including an individual in Genesee County, who further distributed the drugs to customers in the Genesee County area. Boon admitted to trafficking up to 30 grams of methamphetamine.
The sentencing is the culmination of an investigation on the part of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Adam Cohen, the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office, under the direction of Sheriff Gary T. Maha, the Drug Enforcement Administration, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge James J. Hunt, New York Field Division, the New York State Police, under the direction of Major Craig Hanesworth, the City of Batavia Police Department, under the direction of Chief Sean Shawn Heubusch, and the Village of LeRoy Police Department.
McAuley, who was convicted, is scheduled to be sentenced on July 12, 2016, and faces up to 327 months in prison. This case is part of a larger investigation that resulted in the indictment and arrest of members and associates of the Rochester and Monterey (California) Hell’s Angels for drug trafficking and racketeering-related offenses in February 2012. Seven defendants were charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute, and to distribute, 500 grams or more of methamphetamine.
