Virginia Man Got 14 Years for Weapons Sales and Fentanyl Both Sides Want 5 Years of Co-D

by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Jan 10 – For selling automatic weapons online and fentanyl pills as well, Jyshun Trower of Virginia on December 15 was brought before U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrate Judge Ona T. Wang. Inner City Press was there, and as the only media in the SDNY Mag Court, from the thread:

US seeks detention, saying he faces 17 year minimum and would flee.

Judge: What about this order of protection? Federal Defender: That was nolo prosequi.

AUSA: The defendant failed to appear in connection with a prior summons. He carries loaded firearms, even if the laws of states are different. Now he's selling fentanyl too.

 Judge: I'm going to take a short break 

 Judge is back. All rise!

Judge: The US has met its burden; the weight of the evidence is strong. You are remanded to the custody of the Attorney General. 

Jump cut to November 19, when the US Attorney's Office wrote in asking for 168 months on Trower on November 21.

On November 21, "JYSHUN TROWER was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Denise L. Cote to 14 years in prison for trafficking firearms and selling counterfeit pills laced with fentanyl.  TROWER previously pled guilty to illegally transporting and distributing firearms and conspiring to distribute narcotics."

On January 6, 2025 for co-defendant Martinez, defense counsel wrote in asking for the five year minimum on January 17.

On January 10, the US Attorney's Office wrote in also asking for 60 months - the minimum.

The case is USA v. Trower, et al., 1:23-cr-673 (Cote)
