BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Erie County District Attorney John J. Flynn announced Thursday that a Buffalo man was sentenced to 3 1-2 years in prison for illegal gun, possession, and intent to sell fentanyl.
The defendant, 33-year-old Angel L. White, was the front seat passenger in a vehicle during a traffic stop back in October 2020.
During an inventory search of the vehicle, officers found a satchel in the front passenger seat that contained a loaded and illegal revolver, nearly 100 grams of fentanyl, and approximately $5000 in cash.
The gun and fentanyl were subsequently linked to the defendant through DNA evidence.
White pleaded guilty to one count of criminal possession of a controlled substance and one count of criminal possession of a weapon.
