Buffalo Man Pleads Guilty to Drug Conspiracy

A 25-year-old Buffalo man with ties to the Alma Avenue Gang pleaded guilty to a drug conspiracy charge, according to U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy, Jr.

Quamain Simms-Calhoun admitted to conspiring with co-defendant Dajon Woods to sell crack cocaine, cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl between May 8 and August 15, 2019. The defendant coordinated the distribution of these illegal substances on nine separate occasions to an individual working with law enforcement.

Simms-Calhoun also distributed drugs to a number of customers in the Buffalo area. He faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $1,000,000 fine.

The plea is the result of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, the Buffalo Police Department, and the Lackawanna Police Department.

Charges remain pending against Dajon Woods, who is accused of consorting with Simms-Calhoun in the crime.

Simms-Calhoun’s sentencing will be scheduled at a later date. The Alma Avenue Gang is known for their distinctive hand signals and social media presence.
