ALBANY, NEW YORK – A Plattsburgh man has been convicted of his role in a cocaine conspiracy, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Sean R. Fabian, 41, was found guilty of conspiring to distribute cocaine following a four-day jury trial.
The evidence presented in court showed that Fabian conspired with Hannah Dyer to traffic 300 grams of cocaine from New York City to Plattsburgh for distribution. The pair met in Albany on February 13, 2018, where Fabian provided the 300 grams of cocaine to Dyer, who was to take the cocaine to Plattsburgh. However, the New York State Police stopped Dyer’s vehicle in Clinton County and found the drugs in a container, submerged in a fish stew.
Fabian has been in custody since his arrest on June 21, 2018. He faces up to 30 years in prison and a fine of up to $2,000,000 when he is sentenced by United States District Judge Mae A. D ’Agostino on July 31, 2019.
The case was investigated by the DEA and the Plattsburgh City Police Department, and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Douglas Collyer and Troy Anderson.
Fabian’s conviction serves as a reminder of the severity of the penalties for those involved in cocaine trafficking. The U.S. Attorney’s Office will continue to work to disrupt and dismantle drug trafficking organizations in our community.
We urge anyone with information about drug trafficking or other crimes to contact the authorities. Together, we can keep our community safe.
The investigation and prosecution of this case are part of an ongoing effort to combat the flow of cocaine into our community. We will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to bring those responsible to justice.
