Pompey Man Sentenced for Possessing Over 400 Grams of Pure Methamphetamine

UTICA, NEW YORK - Jon Radway, age 47, of Pompey, New York, was sentenced today to 70 months in federal prison for possessing with intent to distribute methamphetamine. First Assistant United States Attorney John A. Sarcone III and Bryan DiGirolamo, Special Agent in Charge of the New York Field Division of the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), made the announcement.

As part of his prior guilty plea, Radway admitted that on October 9, 2025, he knowingly possessed with intent to distribute approximately 466 grams of pure methamphetamine at his home. He further admitted that he intended to sell that methamphetamine to numerous customers located in Onondaga County and elsewhere.

First Assistant United States Attorney John A. Sarcone III stated: "Dangerous narcotics place a tremendous burden on our communities and public health systems. Individuals like this defendant choose to profit at the expense of the very people they harm. I appreciate the diligent investigative work of our partners at the ATF, whose efforts were critical in bringing Mr. Radway to justice."

Special Agent in Charge Bryan DiGirolamo stated: "This guilty plea is the result of strong collaboration among ATF's Syracuse Field Office, the New York State Police Community Stabilization Unit and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of New York. Together, we remain committed to disrupting criminal activity that fuels the illegal distribution of dangerous drugs and threatens the safety of our communities."

United States District Judge Anthony J. Brindisi also imposed a 4-year term of supervised release to begin after Radway is released from prison and ordered $3,135.00, seized from Radway's home, to be forfeited as drug proceeds.

ATF investigated the case with assistance from the New York State Police Community Stabilization Unit. Assistant U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Brown prosecuted the case.
