Cunningham later made an initial appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael J. Roemer. Following a detention hearing, he was released under conditions.

If convicted, the federal charge carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in prison and a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Joshua A. Violanti is prosecuting the case. The investigation was conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Jamestown Police Department.

The criminal complaint contains allegations that have not been proven in court. Cunningham is presumed innocent unless and until he is proven guilty.
