U.S. Attorney Michael DiGiacomo announced that Aaron Miller, 31, of Jamestown, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge John L. Sinatra, Jr. to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute, and to distribute, methamphetamine, which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, and a $1 million fine.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Joshua A. Violanti, who is handling the case, stated that Miller bought and sold methamphetamine and cocaine for profit and for his own use. He received large quantities of methamphetamine and cocaine from co-defendant Jun Martinez, a Jamestown drug dealer, and from others. Miller then distributed the drugs to other individuals in the Jamestown area, for profit.

Co-defendants Jun Martinez, La Huynh, and Antasia Babcock were previously convicted and awaiting sentencing.

The plea is the result of an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Frank A. Tarentino III, New York Field Division and the Jamestown Police Department, under the direction of Chief Timothy Jackson.

Sentencing is scheduled for July 22 at 10 a.m. before Judge Sinatra.
