Daniel Smythe, 23, of Cheektowaga, Lindsay Lang, 19, of Orchard Park, Sophie Wroblewski, 39, and Olivia Paschell, 40, both of Buffalo, were convicted of conspiring to distribute oxycontin pills. Chief District Judge William M. Skretny sentenced the offenders to probation.
The four defendants were arrested July 15, 2010 along with 22 others following a long-term investigation into the widespread illegal sale of prescription drugs in the City of Buffalo and its eastern suburbs. To date, 10 of the 26 defendants have been convicted.
According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael L. McCabe, Wroblewski and Paschell sold their oxycontin pills in the City of Buffalo. Smythe and Lang obtained oyxcontin pills from a source with ties to a prescription pill trafficking network. They distributed pills to customers in the Cheektowaga and Lancaster area.
The sentences are the culmination of an investigation on the part of Special Agents of the Drug Enforcement Administration, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Dale Kasprzyk, in conjunction with many local and state authorities such as the New York State Police, the Buffalo Police Department, the Cheektowaga Police Department, the West Seneca Police Department and the Lancaster Police Department.

Lindsay Lang was a home wrecker bar tender at Duffs that while being a junky slept with another persons partner who just had a baby and got him back on drugs and ruined his family and wouldn’t back off - glad she was convicted, evil immoral piece of trash
ReplyDeleteHahaha! I’ll take bartender and I’ll even take junky but you can keep that “homewrecker” bullshit. “Another persons partner”-not true. When I met him they were legally separated living in separate houses. Not to mention he was a seasoned veteran in the drug department making all kinds of grown man decisions for himself. This literally happened almost 20 years ago please find a hobby that doesn’t consist of pettty gossip. You are pathetic.
