Syracuse, NEW YORK – The grim streets of Syracuse witnessed a pivotal moment as 45-year-old Jamall Harris stood guilty today for his role in the distribution of methamphetamine and fentanyl. United States Attorney Carla B. Freedman and Frank A. Tarentino III, Special Agent in Charge of the DEA New York Division, broke the news.
Harris confessed to harboring over one kilogram of meth and a substantial amount of fentanyl in his home and car on November 8, 2023. His past criminal record, which includes a prior conviction for conspiracy to possess heroin with intent to distribute in the Northern District of New York, only underscores the gravity of his latest offense.
The defendant’s fate is set to be decided on September 10, 2024, where he faces up to 30 years in prison, a staggering fine of $2,000,000, and at least six years of supervised release. Sentencing will be at the discretion of a judge based on the severity of the crime and the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines.
The DEA is leading this investigation with support from the United States Probation Office, while Assistant U.S. Attorney Jessica N. Carbone is handling the prosecution. Harris’s case serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing battle against drug trafficking that plagues our communities.
For those seeking justice, this plea comes as a welcomed development. As we wait for sentencing, the city of Syracuse remains vigilant in its fight against drug-related crime.
