Buffalo Man Sentenced on Cocaine Charge

A 36-year-old Buffalo man has been sentenced to 130 months in prison for his role in a cocaine conspiracy. Victor Marshall was convicted of conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine.

Marshall was found to have supplied cocaine to co-defendants Gerry Spencer, Besari Torres, and Mario Pena, who then distributed the cocaine in the City of Buffalo. On October 7 and October 19, 2011, the defendant sold cocaine to a confidential informant. On November 22, 2011, Marshall possessed 10 ounces of cocaine.

Besari Torres, Gerry Spencer and Mario Pena have been convicted of similar charges and sentenced.

The sentencing is the culmination of an investigation by the Safe Streets Task Force, under direction of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Marshall’s sentencing brings an end to a case that spanned multiple years. The investigation and subsequent prosecution were a joint effort between law enforcement agencies and the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

The case serves as a reminder of the ongoing fight against drug trafficking in Western New York. As law enforcement continues to work to disrupt and dismantle these networks, the community can expect to see more cases like this come to light.
