Long Island Man Pleads Guilty To Trafficking Heroin In Queens

While on house arrest for drug trafficking charges, he was still distributing heroin. Now he's facing life in prison.

A Long Island man pleaded guilty on Thursday to trafficking heroin in Queens.

Stanley Fuller, 43, of Valley Stream, pleaded guilty to two heroin distribution conspiracies in federal court in Brooklyn yesterday. He is facing life in prison.

Between April 2013 and July 2015, law enforcement intercepted telephone calls where Fuller discussed the quality of heroin being sold under the brand names “Sweet Dreams,” “Pepsi” and “Coca Cola.” In May 2017, following his arrest and indictment for heroin distribution conspiracy, Fuller was released on bond and placed on home confinement. While on house arrest, Fuller continued supplying heroin to street-level dealers for distribution.

Officers again intercepted numerous telephone calls during which Fuller discussed heroin being sold under the brand names “9 & 1/2” and “Tom & Jerry.” In January 2019, Fuller was charged in a second indictment with heroin distribution conspiracy while on pre-trial release.

Fuller is the last of 12 defendants in the first indictment to plead guilty, nine of whom have been sentenced.
