BUFFALO, NY—U.S. Attorney William J.
Hochul, Jr. announced today that Carl Korzkowski, 35, of West Seneca, New York,
who was convicted of marijuana trafficking, was sentenced 45 months in prison
by Chief U.S. District Judge William M. Skretny.
According to Assistant U.S. Attorney
Michael L. McCabe, who handled the case, in 2010, Korzkowski managed a
long-running drug trafficking organization in the Buffalo area that distributed
significant amounts of marijuana. The defendant helped obtained marijuana from
Canada through distribution centers in northern New York State in and around
the own of Massena and the Akwesasne Indian Reservation, which extends into
Canada. Korzkowski then distributed the marijuana to a network of customers in
the Buffalo area. The defendant also stored over 100 pounds of marijuana at his
residence at 109 Harlem Road in West Seneca.
The sentencing is the culmination of an
investigation on the part of agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation,

Enforcement Administration, under the direction of Wilbert L. Plummer, Acting
Special Agent in Charge, New York Field Division; Immigration and Customs
