Buffalo man going to prison on fentanyl charge
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- U.S. Attorney Michael DiGiacomo announced today that Alexis Perez, Jr., 22, of Buffalo, NY, who was convicted of possession with intent to distribute fentanyl, was sentenced to serve 40 months in prison by U.S. District Judge Lawrence J. Vilardo.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Donna Duncan, who is handling the case, stated that on November 6, 2024, law enforcement officers conducted a traffic stop of Perez's vehicle and executed a search warrant, seizing a shotgun and ammunition. Investigators then searched his Cambridge Avenue residence, recovering 28 grams of fentanyl, 89 grams of a mixture of fentanyl and cocaine, and 24 grams of cocaine.
The sentencing is the result of an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Farhana Islam, New York Enforcement Division, and the Cheektowaga Police Department, under the direction of Chief Brian Coons.
