PREAMBLE
It was the purpose of this conspiracy (hereinafter referred to as the Narcotics
Distribution Operation) to obtain, possess and control quantities of cocaine, heroin and
illegal prescription medication, to sell those narcotics in Albany County, Rensselaer County,
and elsewhere in and outside of the State of New York, and to collect the proceeds from
those narcotics transactions. The Young Gunnerz street gang (YGz) was the foundation
and unifying force of this Narcotics Distribution Organization. Most members of the
Narcotics Distribution Operation are members of the YGz or affiliated with members of the
YGz. The YGz street gang provides protection, intimidates competition, gives members of
the gang notoriety and reputation on the street and serves as a conduit for members of the
YGz to find alternate narcotics sources of supply in the event their regular source of supply

-
is unavailable.
During the course of the investigation, we identified the following members of this

Marable, Darnell, a/k/a Fatz: It was a part of the Conspiracy for Marable to sell cocaine, heroin and illegal prescription medication in furtherance of the conspiracy. Melendez, Melanie: It was a part of the Conspiracy for Melendez to broker cocaine deals between her customers and Asjmere Powell, a/k/a Prime. Powell, Asjmere, a/k/a Prime: It was a part of the Conspiracy for Powell to sell cocaine and heroin to others, including James Royer, a/k/a Jimmy, a/k/a BK, and Derek Dunbar, a/k/a D, who would then re-sell that cocaine and heroin. Royer, James Jimmy, a/k/a BK: It was a part of the Conspiracy for Royer to sell cocaine and heroin while working in conjunction with Derek Dunbar, a/k/a D. Royer and Dunbar would obtain their narcotics from Asjmere Powell, a/k/a Prime, and other sources. Royer is a known member of the YGz street gang. Thomas, Rashad, a/k/a Shotty: It was a part of the Conspiracy for Thomas to obtain cocaine from Royer and to re-sell that cocaine to others.

It was the purpose of this conspiracy to obtain, possess and control quantities of cocaine and
heroin and to sell that cocaine and heroin in Albany County, Rensselaer County, Saratoga County
and elsewhere in and outside of the State of New York, and to collect the proceeds from those
narcotics transactions. The Young Gunnerz street gang (YGz) was the foundation and unifying
force of this Narcotics Distribution Organization. Most members of the Narcotics Distribution
Operation are members of the YGz or affiliated with members of the YGz. The YGz street gang
provides protection, intimidates competition, gives members of the gang notoriety and reputation on
the street and serves as a conduit for members of the YGz to find alternate narcotics sources of
supply in the event their regular source of supply is unavailable. Furthermore, on several differenct
occasions several members of the YGz who are participants in this Narcotics Distribution Operation
2
-
drove to the City of Albany and fired shots from handguns at competitors within the narcotics
distribution market, all done in order to intimidate the competition and provide notoriety and
reputation to the YGz and this Narcotics Distribution Operation.

It was also part of the conspiracy for Pontore to buy cocaine from Kodadar on an almost daily basis, sometimes while on-duty, in uniform and in his marked police vehicle. Smith, Jevon, a/k/a Stackz: It was a part of the Conspiracy for Smith to sell heroin in furtherance of the conspiracy, to travel to New York City with Andrew Hernandez, a/k/a A, to obtain additional heroin, to possess handguns to protect the interests of the organization, and to shoot at other people to intimidate them and to protect the interests of the organization.
