ROCHESTER — U.S. Attorney Trini E. Ross announced today that Robert Colon, 31, of Rochester, NY, who was convicted of possession with intent to distribute fentanyl, was sentenced to serve 24 months in prison by U.S. District Judge Frank P. Geraci, Jr.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Cassie M. Kocher, who handled the case, stated that between January 2022, and March 9, 2022, Colon sold quantities of cocaine, fentanyl, and/or para-fluorofentanyl to an undercover law enforcement officer on different occasions, which resulted in an arrest warrant being issued on March 23, 2022. Colon was taken into custody on May 30, 2022. At that time, he possessed approximately 189 baggies containing fentanyl, approximately 16 baggies of cocaine, and $1,748 in cash, which represented drug proceeds.
The sentencing is the result of an investigation by the Rochester Police Department, under the direction of Chief David Smith, the Greater Rochester Area Narcotics Enforcement Team, and Homeland Security Investigations, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Matthew Scarpino.
