The streets of Lewiston, New York, just got a little safer as a local man has been sentenced to 15 months in prison for possession with intent to distribute cocaine.
According to court documents, 60-year-old Frank Rowles was found with two digital scales and a quantity of cocaine during a search warrant executed by law enforcement officers on January 3, 2019, at 5150 Homestead Place in Lewiston.
The investigation was a joint effort between Homeland Security Investigations, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Kevin Kelly, and the Niagara County Drug Task Force, under the direction of Niagara County Sheriff Michael Filicetti.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Justin G. Bish handled the case, which ultimately led to Rowles being convicted and sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Lawrence J. Vilardo.
Rowles’ sentence comes as a result of his conviction for possession with intent to distribute cocaine, a serious crime that can have devastating effects on individuals and communities.
The sentencing is a significant step towards holding individuals accountable for their actions and keeping the streets of Lewiston safe.
