BUFFALO, NY—U.S. Attorney William J.
Hochul, Jr. announced today that Gregory Miller, 48, of Buffalo, New York,
pleaded guilty plea before Chief U.S. District Judge William M. Skretny to
cocaine trafficking. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in
prison, a fine of $1,000,000, or both.
According to Assistant U.S. Attorney
Michael L. McCabe, who is handling the case, Miller was involved in drug
trafficking in Cheektowaga and on Buffalo’s East Side. He was arrested along
with nine others in June 2011. The defendant purchased cocaine from
co-defendant Charles Palmer who allegedly stored and sold cocaine from an auto
shop on Broadway Street in Sloan. Miller then sold cocaine to a network of
customers in the city of Buffalo. Palmer is awaiting trial.
The plea is the culmination of an
investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Safe Streets Task Force,
under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Christopher M. Piehota; and the
Cheektowaga Police Department, under the direction of Chief David Zack.
Sentencing is scheduled for November 26,
2012, at 9:00 a.m. before Judge Skretny.
