Long Island Man Sentenced For Selling Drugs To NYC Gangs
The gang members bought the drugs from him and then resold them near a park in South Jamaica.
A Long Island man was sentenced to a decade in prison on Thursday for supplying heroin to gang members in New York City.
Stanley Fuller, 43, of Valley Stream, was sentenced to 10 years and 1 month in prison. He had previously pleaded guilty to two separate heroin distribution conspiracies.
“Fuller had a lucrative business selling lethal heroin to gang members, but ultimately all he earned for his efforts was a significant prison sentence,” said United States Attorney Richard Donoghue.

Between April 2013 and July 2015, Fuller sold large amounts of heroin to the Paper Chasing Goons, or POV City, set of the Bloods street gang, based in Jamaica, Queens. Law enforcement listened in on numerous phone calls between Fuller and gang members which discussed heroin sales, prices and quality.
Fuller sold the heroin to the gangs' street dealers, who prosecutors say then sold the drugs near Liberty Park in South Jamaica.
