Omar Wynn, a 32-year-old resident of Schenectady, New York, has been sentenced to five years in prison for distributing a controlled substance. The announcement was made by United States Attorney John A. Sarcone III and Special Agent in Charge Frank A. Tarentino III of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), New York Division.
Wynn confessed to selling 1,500 fentanyl pills and 8.6 grams of cocaine base to another individual. The fentanyl pills were marked "M30" to mimic oxycodone tablets. At the time of these offenses, Wynn was already on state probation due to two previous felony cocaine convictions.
United States District Judge Mae A. D’Agostino also imposed an additional four years of supervised release on Wynn following his prison term and ordered him to forfeit $3,000 in profits from his illegal activities.
The investigation leading to Wynn's sentencing was conducted by the DEA with support from the Schenectady Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan S. Reiner handled the prosecution.
