Man Charged with 1 Kilo of Fentanyl and 9mm Glock in January Gets Plea Deal Only to Drugs

Man Charged with 1 Kilo of Fentanyl and 9mm Glock in January Gets Plea Deal Only to Drugs by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack SDNY COURTHOUSE, June 5 – A man arrested in January 2026 with one kilo of narcotics including fentanyl as well as a 9mm Glock pistol was brought to plead guilty on June 5 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrates Court, which Inner City Press closely covers.   The initial complaint had two counts, distribution of narcotics and firearm use, carrying and possession.   But the plea deal on June 5 was to plead guilty only to Count 1, the narcotics.  The gun went away - even amid a 1PP press conference that Inner City Press also covered on June 5. The plea was recommended for acceptance by the assigned District Judge Jed S. Rakoff, and a sentencing control date of September 3 was set.   The case is USA v. Jiminez, 1:26-cr-146 (Rakoff) *** Your support means a lot. As little as $5 a month helps keep us going and grants you access to exclusive bonus material on our Patreon page.
