U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman announced the unsealing of an indictment charging Ronald “Solo” Miller, Jason Paradies, Frank “Nitty” Nesbit, Corey Webb, and Kiyon Webb with the distribution of cocaine and cocaine base throughout the Southern District of New York.
All five men were taken into federal custody on Wednesday, April 10 and Thursday, April 11 and presented in White Plains federal court.
The indictment alleges that between 2016 through October last year, the five men conspired to distribute more than five kilograms of cocaine and 280 grams of cocaine base, Berman said. If convicted of the conspiracy to distribute five kilograms or more charge, the five face a mandatory minimum term of 10 years in prison and a maximum of life in prison.
FBI Assistant Director William Sweeney Jr. said, “the insidious spread of potentially deadly, illegal drugs harms the small towns outside of the city in the same way it harms the big city. No one is immune to the crime and violence that accompanies the drug trade.
“Our Office is committed to targeting, arresting, and prosecuting criminals that peddle addictive and dangerous drugs to our community,” Berman added. “Thankfully, our law enforcement partners are just as dedicated to this important cause.”
