BROOKLYN, N.Y. - U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy, Jr. and James J. Hunt, Special Agent in Charge, U.S. Drug Enforcement (DEA), New York Division, announced today that Arthur Clark, 29, of Buffalo, NY, who was convicted by a federal jury of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute marijuana, was sentenced to 24 months in prison by U.S. District Judge Elizabeth A. Wolford.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Laura A.
