Schenectady Man Sentenced to Prison for Selling Fentanyl Pills

ALBANY, NEW YORK – Omar Wynn, age 32, of Schenectady, New York, was sentenced to 60 months in prison today for distribution of a controlled substance.  United States Attorney John A. Sarcone III and Special Agent in Charge Frank A. Tarentino III of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), New York Division, made the announcement.

Wynn admitted to selling 1,500 fentanyl pills and 8.6 grams of cocaine base to another person.  The fentanyl pills were stamped “M30” to make them appear as if they were oxycodone.  At the time, Wynn was on state probation for two felony cocaine convictions.  United States District Judge Mae A. D’Agostino also ordered Wynn to serve 4 years of supervised release and forfeit the $3,000 profit he made.

The DEA conducted the investigation with assistance from the Schenectady Police Department, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan S. Reiner prosecuted the case.
