Bronx Man Sentenced to 5 Years in Prison for Cocaine Conspiracy

A Bronx, New York, man, Jordan Urrutia, 32, was sentenced to 60 months in prison for conspiring to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine, Acting U.S. Attorney Rachael A. Honig announced.

The sentence was imposed by U.S. District Judge Susan D. Wigenton in Newark federal court after Urrutia previously pleaded guilty to an information charging him with one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine.

According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court, in August 2019, Urrutia conspired with others to distribute cocaine in New Jersey. Urrutia and a conspirator traveled from the Bronx into Bergen County, New Jersey, to deliver approximately two kilograms of cocaine before being identified and arrested by agents with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

In addition to the prison term, Judge Wigenton sentenced Urrutia to four years of supervised release.

Acting U.S. Attorney Honig credited special agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Susan A. Gibson, with the investigation leading to today’s sentencing.

The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Shawn Barnes of the U.S. Attorney’s Office Criminal Division in Newark.
