TROY — A Troy gang leader was sentenced to 137 months in prison Friday for possessing fentanyl and cocaine with intent to distribute and possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.
Richawn McClain, 26, previously admitted to possessing a handgun modified into a machinegun to protect 900 fentanyl pills, 32 grams of cocaine, and $22,770 in drug proceeds.
United States District Judge Mae A. D’Agostino also imposed 4 years of post-imprisonment supervised release, including a special condition to avoid contact with the Young Gunnerz and 380 gangs, in which McClain held leadership roles.
McClain agreed to forfeit the firearm and drug money as part of his sentence.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan S. Reiner.
