ROCHESTER, N.Y.- Acting U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy, Jr. announced today that Yusef Blocker, 35, of Rochester, NY, who was convicted of possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine, was sentenced to 151 months in prison by U.S. District Judge Charles J. Siragusa.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Richard A. Resnick and Charles E. Moynihan, who handled the case, said that on March 21, 2016, members of the United States Probation and Pre-Trial Services Office, who were supervising Blocker following his 2005 federal drug trafficking conviction, searched an apartment at 505 University Avenue in Rochester. During that search, probation officers found drug paraphernalia, U.S. currency, and a quantity of crack cocaine.
The plea is the result of an investigation by the United States Probation and Pre-Trial Services Office, under the direction of Chief Probation Officer Anthony SanGiacomo; and the Drug Enforcement Administration, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge James J. Hunt.
