Massachusetts Man Sentenced in Multi-Drug Conspiracy
A New York man, Wilkin Cedano, 38, of Brooklyn, N.Y., has been sentenced in federal court in Boston for his role in a drug distribution conspiracy involving heroin, fentanyl, and cocaine.
Cedano was sentenced by U.S. District Court Chief Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV to 29 months in prison and three years of supervised release on December 13, 2021.
