Federal Officials Announce Major Arrests in International Drug Smuggling Case
“Today’s announcement reflects the unprecedented collaboration among our law enforcement partners Federal, State, Local, and Tribal, both in the United States and Canada. Their work to identify, investigate, and arrest these individuals underscores our commitment to securing the northern border and stopping the flow of deadly narcotics and dangerous firearms. As alleged, the defendants sought to exploit areas along the border where tribal lands create unmonitored access points for cross‑border criminal activity. Because of their actions, they will now face the full weight of the American justice system.” - First Assistant United States Attorney John A. Sarcone III
“Thanks to the dedication of our partners at the Schenectady Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, this defendant is no longer a threat to our streets. Mixing lethal narcotics and illegal firearms creates a volatile and unpredictable combination, and I thankful this investigation stopped Mr. Dunn before that volatility could harm the community.” - First Assistant United States Attorney John A. Sarcone III
Ex-Union Boss Pleads Guilty to Theft and Wire Fraud Charges over $290,000.
“Unions exist to protect and uplift their members, yet this defendant chose greed over duty, stealing from the very people he was entrusted to serve,” said First Assistant U.S. Attorney John A. Sarcone III.
