BINGHAMTON, NEW YORK – A Watertown man was sentenced to 68 months in federal prison for his role in a drug trafficking conspiracy.
Kavon Mason, age 33, was sentenced to 68 months in prison after previously pleading guilty to distributing and conspiring to distribute illegal drugs in Central New York.
Mason admitted to conspiring with others to distribute methamphetamine and cocaine in and around Watertown, New York, between January 2019 and July 2020.
He would travel to Arizona and other locations to purchase the drugs and mail them back to central New York using the U.S. Postal Service.
The packages were sent to various addresses, often using false names, and Mason and others would retrieve the packages and distribute the drugs.
In addition to his term of imprisonment, Mason was ordered to serve four years of supervised release and to pay a money judgment of $42,000, representing Mason’s proceeds from the drug trafficking conspiracy.
He was also sentenced to pay a $5,000 fine. The sentence was pronounced by Senior United States District Judge Thomas J. McAvoy.
This case was investigated by U.S. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS), with assistance from the Metro-Jefferson Drug Task Force.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael F. Perry.
