Fentanyl Dealer Sentenced to Probation
A 22-year-old Buffalo man, Jordan Warunek, has been sentenced to two years probation for his role in a fentanyl conspiracy.
According to federal investigators, Warunek conspired with others to distribute fentanyl, oxymorphone, and oxycodone, Schedule II controlled substances, between September 2012 and December 2012.
During this time, Warunek purchased 100 microgram fentanyl patches from co-defendant Barbara Moran, which he then sold to an undercover officer on November 30 and December 3, 2012. In addition, the defendant purchased oxymorphone and oxycodone from Moran.
Warunek sold the oxymorphone to an undercover officer on September 20, 2012, and the oxycodone to an undercover officer on December 9, 2012.
The plea and sentencing are the culmination of an investigation on the part of the Drug Enforcement Administration, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge James J. Hunt, New York Field Division and the Cheektowaga Police Department, under the direction of Chief David Zach.
Co-defendants Barbara Moran, Mary Moran, and Gregory Pendziwiatr have all been convicted of similar charges and are awaiting sentencing.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Mary Catherine Baumgarten handled the case, stating that the defendant’s actions put the public at risk and that her office will continue to prosecute those who engage in such activities.
Warunek’s sentencing to two years probation is seen as a lenient sentence by some, but prosecutors argue that it is a fair punishment given the circumstances of the case.
