Corey Jordon Green, 33, of Broome County, was sentenced to 19 years in federal prison for his role in drug trafficking and related offenses. The sentence, issued on October 3, follows Green’s guilty plea to charges including the distribution of fentanyl, heroin, and methamphetamine in the Vestal area, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office. The offenses were part of a conspiracy that took place from at least January 2022 through November 2023, with the drugs obtained from California and other locations.
The judgment indicates that Green, who has multiple prior felony convictions and is legally prohibited from possessing firearms, owned five guns, including three handguns and two AK-47 style rifles, which were connected to his criminal activities. The court also confirmed Green’s involvement in money laundering, with unrecovered proceeds from his drug-related offenses totaling more than $185,000, based on statements from the relevant federal agencies.
In addition to his prison sentence, Chief United States District Judge Brenda K. Sannes imposed concurrent 3- and 5-year terms of post-release supervision for Green, aligning the conclusion of his case with that of co-conspirator Michael Jacobs of Endicott, who was sentenced in December 2024 to 10 years and 10 months in prison, followed by a 5-year term of post-release supervision.
"Fentanyl, heroin and methamphetamine are a scourge on our communities," stated Acting United States Attorney John A. Sarcone III, referring to the impact of these narcotics. He explained that the prison sentence reflects the severity of the defendant’s actions in Broome County and aims to prevent further illegal activity. Homeland Security Investigators and the IRS-Criminal Investigation Unit identified the defendant’s conduct as central to the case. Sarcone’s full remarks were included in the announcement by the U.S. Attorney’s office.
Multiple agencies, including Homeland Security Investigations, IRS-Criminal Investigation, the Drug Enforcement Administration, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and New York State Police VGNET, worked together in the apprehension and prosecution of Green. This collaboration aligns with the Homeland Security Task Force initiative, which targets criminal organizations involved in transnational criminal activities and focuses on combating child trafficking and crimes against children.
