Ohio Man Lands 53 Months for Marijuana Distribution
A 53-year-old man from Columbus, Ohio, has been sentenced to 53 months in prison for his involvement in a large-scale marijuana distribution organization.
Steven Boffman, 53, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Charles J. Siragusa in a Rochester, New York courtroom. Boffman was one of eight individuals indicted in August 2010 for their roles in the marijuana distribution conspiracy.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Everardo A. Rodriguez, who handled the case, stated that Boffman and his co-defendants were responsible for the large-scale distribution of marijuana in Rochester and Columbus, Ohio.
However, Boffman’s co-defendants Andrew Wright, Richard Anderson, and Aston Johnson were convicted of a more heinous crime in 2013. They were found guilty of murdering three men in Greece, New York, in furtherance of the marijuana conspiracy.
The investigation that led to Boffman’s sentencing was a collaborative effort between the Greece Police Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the New York State Police, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations, and the Rochester Police Department.
Boffman’s 53-month sentence is a result of the hard work and dedication of the law enforcement agencies involved in the case. The sentence serves as a reminder of the consequences of engaging in large-scale marijuana distribution and the importance of cooperation between law enforcement agencies.
The case is a prime example of the ongoing efforts to combat organized crime and disrupt the flow of illicit substances into our communities.
