Buffalo Man Sentenced for Narcotics Conspiracy

A 26-year-old Buffalo man has been sentenced to 60 months in prison for his role in a narcotics conspiracy.

Rogelio Mueses, a resident of Buffalo, was found guilty of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute heroin, butyryl fentanyl, 4-fluoroisobutyryl fentanyl, and fentanyl.

Between January and May of 2018, Mueses conspired with another individual to distribute controlled substances. On six different dates, they sold controlled substances to an individual working with the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Subsequent testing confirmed the presence of heroin, butyryl fentanyl, and 4-fluoroisobutyryl fentanyl, all of which are Schedule I controlled substances, and fentanyl, a Schedule II controlled substance.

The sentencing is the result of an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Ray Donovan, New York Field Division.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Brendan T. Cullinane handled the case.

The defendant, Rogelio Mueses, will serve 60 months in prison, according to the sentencing.
