TRENTON, New Jersey: Dyshawn Moss, a resident of Ocean County’s Manchester, was brought before the federal court in Trenton in a case that exemplifies the ongoing struggle against guns and drug trafficking. Moss was imposed a 240-month prison term by U.S. District Judge Michael A. Shipp on account of five convictions, which included distributorship of fentanyl, heroin, and cocaine, as well as unlawful possession of a firearm.
Moss was convicted subsequent to a four-day trial that concluded on October 27, 2022, thereby disclosing his participation in a significant narcotics enterprise. Upon Moss’s apprehension by law enforcement agents outside his Manchester flat on May 24, 2019, more than a kilogram of fentanyl, over 1.3 kilograms of heroin, and over 2.6 kilograms of cocaine were discovered. A loaded 9mm Taurus handgun, materials for narcotic packaging, and more than $150,000 in cash were also seized.
In addition to the ten-year supervised release that precedes Moss’s prison term, Judge Shipp’s decision underscores the grave nature of the transgressions. The aforementioned sentence is the result of the collaborative endeavors of the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office, under the leadership of Prosecutor Raymond S. Santiago, and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, headed by Special Agent in Charge Cheryl Ortiz.
The government was represented in this crucial case by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Vera Varshavsky and Olta Bejleri. This triumph is of considerable importance in the continuous battle against drug-related offenses and unlawful possession of firearms in the state of New Jersey. This sentencing effectively communicates the repercussions of engaging in such unlawful conduct and the law enforcement community’s steadfast dedication to maintaining the administration of justice.
