Schenectady Man Pleads Guilty to Selling Fentanyl Pills

ALBANY, NEW YORK - Omar Wynn, age 31, of Schenectady, New York, pled guilty today to distribution of a controlled substance. United States Attorney Carla B. Freedman and Special Agent in Charge Frank A. Tarentino III of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), New York Field Division, made the announcement.

Wynn admitted to selling 1,500 fentanyl pills and 8.6 grams of cocaine base in 2023. The fentanyl pills were stamped "M30" to make them appear as if they were oxycodone. Wynn agreed to forfeit $3,000 as proceeds of his crime.

At sentencing on March 11, 2025, Wynn faces at least 5 years and up to 40 years in prison; a fine of up to $5 million; and a term of supervised release of at least 4 years and up to life. A defendant's sentence is imposed by a judge based on the particular statute the defendant is charged with violating, the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other factors.

The DEA conducted the investigation with assistance from the Schenectady Police Department, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan S. Reiner is prosecuting the case.
