A Le Roy-based drug dealer must spend two years in federal prison, a U.S. District Judge in Rochester decided today.
Edgardo Guzman, 33, was convicted in February 2008 of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute, 500 grams or more of cocaine and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Brett A. Harvey, who handled the case, stated that a joint federal and local investigation revealed that Guzman was responsible for obtaining as much as 3.5 kilograms of cocaine from a drug trafficking network in Rochester and distributing those drugs to others in the Rochester area from 2002 to 2005.
The investigation also revealed that between November 2003 and February 2004, the defendant possessed a semi-automatic pistol after being previously convicted of a drug felony in 2002.
