A 44-year-old Syracuse man has been sentenced to 84 months in federal prison for distributing methamphetamine and cocaine, announced United States Attorney Carla B. Freedman and Frank A. Tarentino III, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), New York Division.
Mohamed Mahmoud was found guilty of selling approximately 29 grams of pure methamphetamine, 12 grams of crack cocaine, and 11 grams of powder cocaine on April 14, 2021. He also admitted to selling the same drugs on multiple prior occasions in the preceding months.
This was not Mohamad’s first run-in with federal authorities. In October 2012, he was sentenced to a 63-month term of imprisonment following his conviction for conspiring to distribute crack cocaine.
Onondaga County officials were instrumental in the case, working alongside the DEA-Syracuse Resident Office, the Onondaga County District Attorney’s Office, the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office, and the Syracuse Police Department, and the New York State Police.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Sutcliffe. United States District Judge David N. Hurd further sentenced Mahmoud to a four-year term of supervised release to begin after imprisonment, imposed a $2,500 fine, and imposed a $2,400 judgment representing Mahmoud’s proceeds from a prior drug sale.
Mohamed Mahmoud was sentenced to 84 months in federal prison, a $2,500 fine, and a $2,400 judgment. He will also serve a four-year term of supervised release following his imprisonment.
This case is a stark reminder of the devastating impact of drug trafficking on our communities. We will continue to work tirelessly to bring those responsible to justice and keep our neighborhoods safe.
