BUFFALO, N.Y. - U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy, Jr.
announced today that Schuele Boys Gang member Antwon Steward, a/k/a Stacks, 35,
of Buffalo, NY, who was convicted of conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more
of cocaine, was sentenced to serve 60 months in prison by U.S. District Judge
Richard J. Arcara.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Wei Xiang, who handled the case,
stated that Steward participated in a cocaine distribution operation with
co-defendant Michael Robertson, a/k/a Bones. The defendant cooked powder
cocaine into “crack” for Robertson. Steward and Robertson also shared supplies
of cocaine, locations for storing and selling cocaine, and customers. The
investigation utilized court-ordered interceptions of wire and electronic
communications between Robertson, the defendant, and customers. Robertson was
previously convicted and sentenced to 97 months in prison.
Steward was one of 28 Schuele Boys Gang members, associates
and other individuals arrested and convicted in this case. The Schuele Boys
Gang, which operated in the Schuele Street area of the East Side of Buffalo,
was responsible for multiple acts of violence, including murder, and the
distribution of illegal narcotics including cocaine, crack cocaine and
marijuana.
Today’s sentencing is the result of an investigation by the
Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Safe Streets Task Force, under the direction
of Special Agent-in-Charge Gary Loeffert.
