Niagara Falls Man Sentenced to Federal Prison in Cocaine Distribution Case

A Niagara Falls resident has been sentenced to nearly three years in federal prison following his conviction on drug distribution charges.

Jason Hoy, 46, was sentenced to 33 months in prison by U.S. District Court Judge Lawrence J. Vilardo after being found guilty of possessing cocaine with the intent to distribute. The case stems from a drug investigation that led authorities to search Hoy’s residence in May 2023.

During the execution of a search warrant, investigators uncovered several types of illegal substances inside Hoy’s home.

Among the items seized were bags containing a crystal-like substance, gray and white powders, multicolored pills, and green plant material. Laboratory testing confirmed the presence of narcotics in all samples.

In addition to the drugs, law enforcement also recovered drug-related tools and prohibited items, including brass knuckles, a collapsible baton, a digital scale, and a police scanner.
