Tyler Hull, Eutylone Trafficking, New York 2020

Syracuse, New York – A Fulton man has been convicted of his role in a eutylone trafficking operation that took place in Oswego County.

Tyler Hull, age 38, of Fulton, New York, pled guilty today to conspiring to unlawfully distribute and possess with the intent to distribute eutylone, a Schedule I controlled substance.

The announcement was made by Acting United States Attorney Antoinette T. Bacon and Matthew Scarpino, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the Buffalo Field Office of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).

As part of his guilty plea, Hull admitted that from November of 2020 through December 22, 2020, he participated in a conspiracy to distribute eutylone to others throughout Oswego County. Eutylone is a synthetic cathinone and has pharmacological effects on the central nervous system similar to other schedule I or II substances such as methylone, pentylone, cocaine, methamphetamine, and MDMA.

Hull faces up to 20 years in prison, a fine of up to $1,000,000, and a term of post-release supervision of at least 3 years and up to life when he is sentenced by Senior United States District Judge Thomas J. McAvoy on March 9, 2022.

The case is being investigated by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the U.S. Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI), and the Oswego County Drug Task Force, comprised of Special Agents of HSI, members of the City of Oswego Police Department, the Oswego County Sheriff’s Office, Investigators from the Oswego County District Attorney’s Office, the SUNY Oswego Police Department and Agents of the U.S. Border Patrol.

The case is being prosecuted by Special Assistant United States Attorney Adrian LaRochelle.

Hull’s guilty plea is a significant blow to those involved in the eutylone trafficking operation and a testament to the tireless efforts of law enforcement to combat this type of crime.
