ALBANY, NEW YORK – Julan Morrison, aka “Weez,” age 38, of
Hudson, New York, was sentenced today to 120 months in prison for his
involvement in a crack cocaine distribution ring that operated in Columbia
County.
The announcement was made by United States Attorney Grant C.
Jaquith; Keith M. Corlett, Superintendent of the New York State Police; James
N. Hendricks, Special Agent in Charge of the Albany Field Office of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI); and Chief L. Edward Moore of the Hudson Police
Department.
As part of his guilty plea, Morrison admitted that between
August and December 2017, he was involved in a conspiracy to distribute crack
cocaine in Columbia County. Morrison
admitted that members of the conspiracy made weekly trips to New York City
where they purchased hundreds of grams of powder cocaine, returned it to
Hudson, converted it to crack cocaine, and then sold it to customers. Morrison admitted that the organization sold
at least 464 grams of crack cocaine between August and December 2017.
Senior United States District Judge Thomas J. McAvoy also
imposed a 5-year term of supervised release, to begin after Morrison’s release
from prison.
This case was investigated by the New York State Police’s
Special Investigations Unit, the FBI, and the Hudson Police Department, and was
prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Wayne A. Myers and Joshua R. Rosenthal.
