NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A Brooklyn man was sentenced Friday to over 2 years in prison for his role in a heroin, fentanyl, and cocaine distribution conspiracy in Massachusetts, according to the Department of Justice.
Wilkin Cedano, 38, was sentenced to 29 months and three years of supervised release, officials said.
Prosecutors allege Cedano conspired with others to travel from New York to Massachusetts in November and December 2019 to sell fentanyl and 1,000 pills containing controlled substances to an individual who, unbeknownst to the defendant, was working with investigators.
On Dec. 2, 2019, Cedano drove from New York to a grocery store in Lynn, Massachusetts, and presented the individual with two potato-shaped packages of heroin wrapped in cellophane and two pill bottles with 938 pills containing fentanyl or a mixture of heroin and fentanyl.
He was subsequently arrested. Investigators also found additional drugs tucked beneath the steering column of Cedano’s car.
The defendant previously pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 100 grams or more of heroin, 40 grams or more of fentanyl and cocaine.
