Hudson County Man Admits to Drug Distribution Charges
A Hudson County man has admitted to possessing with intent to distribute heroin, cocaine, and cocaine base, according to Acting U.S. Attorney Rachael A. Honig.
Hason Armfield, 43, of Jersey City, New Jersey, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with possessing with intent to distribute heroin, cocaine, and cocaine base. The charge carries a maximum sentence of 20 years imprisonment and a $1 million fine.
Armfield’s residence was searched as part of an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Jersey City Police Department. Law enforcement officers found heroin, cocaine, cocaine base, drug paraphernalia, and U.S. currency.
The investigation was conducted as part of the Jersey City Violent Crime Initiative (VCI), a partnership between federal, state, county, and city agencies to combat violent crime in and around Jersey City.
Armfield’s sentencing is scheduled for December 6, 2021.
Acting U.S. Attorney Honig credited agents and task force officers of the DEA, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Susan A. Gibson, and members of the Jersey City Police Department, under the direction of Public Safety Director James Shea, with the investigation leading to today’s guilty plea.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Tracey Agnew of the Organized Crime and Gangs Unit in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark.
