Asbury Park man sentenced on federal drug charges Posted by the Asbury Park Press on 03/5/07 Post Comment TRENTON U.S. District Judge Garrett E. Brown, Jr., today sentenced Dyshaun Moss, 26, of Asbury Park, to 14 years in prison, and ordered him to pay a $2,500 fine for his guilty plea to one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute at least 100 grams of heroin.
At his Sept. 14, 2005 plea hearing, Moss, a.k.a. ''Sharkey," admitted that during the time period of the conspiracy, he distributed a total of between three and 10 kilos of heroin. Moss is the last remaining defendant charged as a result of a long- term task force investigation into drug distribution networks operating in the Asbury Park area, according to U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Christie. In total, 41 defendants were federally charged through the joint task force investigation, which began in the spring of 2004 when the Drug Enforcement Administration Mobile Enforcement Team (MET) was detailed to focus its efforts on narcotics trafficking in and around Asbury Park. As of today, all federal defendants have pleaded guilty and been sentenced, including the leaders of various heroin and cocaine organizations, which were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 11 to 15 years. In addition to the federally charged defendants, the 2 1/2-year investigation by the DEA, Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office and Asbury Park Police lead to the arrest of an additional 61 defendants on state charges filed by Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office. The majority of the state defendants have also pleaded guilty and many received state prison sentences, including several mid- to high-level cocaine and heroin dealers who received prison terms ranging from five to 14 years. -- by Staff Report ------------------------ Yahoo!
