A Rochester man has been sentenced to serve 100 months in prison for heroin possession and gun charge.
Joseph Delisio, 47, was convicted of possession of heroin with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon.
Delisio was arrested on April 11, 2018, following a vehicle stop. The defendant had approximately $34,650 in cash in his possession and officers found a bottle in the vehicle containing residue of suspected heroin, scales which are commonly used to process narcotics for distribution, and a .22 caliber Ruger handgun.
During a subsequent search of Delisio’s residence, officers recovered three more firearms and ammunition.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Cassie Kocher handled the case, stating that the defendant sold heroin between September 29, 2017, and April 11, 2018, to individuals working with the Drug Enforcement Administration.
The sentencing is the result of an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Ray Donovan, New York Field Division, and the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office, under the direction of Sheriff Barry Virts.
Delisio was previously convicted in Wayne County Court in 2013 of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the Fourth Degree; in 2009 of Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance in the Fifth Degree; and in 2002 of Burglary in the Third Degree.
As a result, Delisio is legally prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition.
Delisio was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Elizabeth A. Wolford.
