(WNY News Now) – A 33-year-old Jamestown man has been sentenced to approximately 70 months in prison after being convicted in a federal drug trafficking conspiracy involving fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine and acetyl fentanyl.
JAMESTOWN, N.Y. — Jun N. Martinez, 33, of Jamestown, was sentenced to time served, approximately 70 months, following his conviction on federal drug trafficking charges, according to U.S. Attorney Michael DiGiacomo.
Martinez was convicted of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and distribute 100 grams or more of acetyl fentanyl, 400 grams or more of fentanyl, 50 grams or more of methamphetamine and 500 grams or more of cocaine.
According to federal prosecutors, Martinez received large quantities of cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin through the mail from an out-of-state source. Prosecutors also said he supplied crystal methamphetamine and heroin or fentanyl to another person who sold the drugs.
In September 2020, Martinez’s vehicle was stopped by an Illinois State Police trooper during a trip to obtain additional narcotics. A search of the vehicle resulted in the seizure of approximately 9,589 grams of methamphetamine, 3,157 grams of fentanyl, 2,241 grams of cocaine and marijuana products.
Investigators later executed a search warrant at Martinez’s Wescott Street residence in October 2020. Authorities reported finding methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia, a drug ledger and approximately $62,000.
The case was investigated by the Jamestown Metro Drug Task Force and the Drug Enforcement Administration. It was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Joshua A. Violanti.
Martinez was sentenced by U.S. District Judge John L. Sinatra Jr. His sentence of time served amounts to approximately 70 months.
Federal officials said the case was part of the Homeland Security Task Force initiative, which brings together multiple federal agencies to investigate and prosecute transnational criminal organizations and related drug trafficking activity.
