Jessica Snyder, a 46-year-old resident of Canastota, New York, was sentenced to five years in federal prison for her involvement in a drug conspiracy and firearm offenses. The sentence was announced by United States Attorney John A. Sarcone III, alongside Bryan Miller, Special Agent in Charge of the New York Field Division of the ATF, and Madison County Sheriff Todd Hood.
Snyder admitted to conspiring with her husband, Andrew Snyder, from October 2020 to May 2022 to distribute methamphetamine and a heroin/fentanyl mixture from their home in Madison County. Additionally, she possessed two 9mm handguns and ammunition as an unlawful user of controlled substances on May 17, 2022.
Chief United States District Judge Brenda K. Sannes ordered Snyder to serve a four-year term of supervised release following her prison term and to forfeit the firearms and ammunition.
Andrew Snyder had previously been sentenced to 60 months in prison earlier this month.
The investigation was conducted by the ATF and the Madison County Sheriff’s Office, with the DEA and New York State Police providing assistance. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Thomas R. Sutcliffe and Matthew J. McCrobie.
