Albany Man Pleads Guilty to Oxycodone Conspiracy

ALBANY, NEW YORK – Nicholas M. Signore, age 26, of Albany, New York, pled guilty today to conspiring to distribute oxycodone.

Signore faces up to 20 years in prison and 3 years of post-imprisonment supervised release when he is sentenced on April 20, 2017 by U.S. District Judge Mae A.
