Sean Hagans, Cocaine Trafficking, New York 2012

Sean Hagans, also known as ‘Pretty,’ is one of 18 defendants charged in a federal indictment for cocaine trafficking in Utica, New York, federal authorities announced today.

Hagans, a 42-year-old resident of Utica, New York, is charged with conspiring to distribute cocaine and cocaine base, also known as crack, from the summer of 2011 through June 26, 2012. The indictment alleges that Hagans and his co-conspirators trafficked these illicit substances in and around Utica.

Hagans and 17 other defendants were charged in two separate federal indictments: US v. SEAN HAGANS, et al. (5:13-CR-137) and US v. REID SOOK, et al. (5:13-CR-187).

According to the indictment, Hagans and his co-conspirators distributed cocaine and cocaine base in the Utica area, often using violence and intimidation to protect their operation.

The indictment alleges that the conspiracies operated from the summer of 2011 through June 26, 2012. The defendants were charged with conspiring to distribute cocaine and cocaine base, with Hagans specifically accused of participating in the conspiracy.

The case is being prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of New York. Hagans is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

As the indictment is merely an accusation, Hagans and his co-conspirators are entitled to a fair trial and due process under the law.

This case is a reminder of the ongoing struggle against narcotics trafficking in our communities and the need for cooperation between law enforcement agencies to bring those responsible to justice.
