United States Attorney Carla B. Freedman delivered the statement with other special agents and inspectors.

Wallace admitted to possessing a box of tablets laced with fentanyl that had been sent by the US Postal Service to his DeWitt residence and weighed 1,024 grams in his earlier guilty plea. Wallace acknowledged that he intended to give these tablets, along with additional amounts of fentanyl in his possession, to other people. As part of his drug-trafficking activities, he also admitted to keeping two Glock.40 caliber handguns, one of which had an extended magazine installed, in the same apartment.

Moreover, Chief United States District Judge Brenda K. Sannes mandated that Wallace serve a 4-year period of supervised release following his time in jail.

The Syracuse Police Department, IRS-CI, and other agencies provided assistance to the DEA and USPIS as they lead the investigation.
