Federal: Schenectady man admits to selling fentanyl pills

SCHENECTADY – A Schenectady man admitted Wednesday to distributing fentanyl pills, federal prosecutors said.

Omar Wynn, 31, of Schenectady, pleaded guilty to distribution of a controlled substance, prosecutors said.

He admitted to selling 1,500 fentanyl pills and 8.6 grams of cocaine base in 2023. The fentanyl pills were stamped “M30” to make them appear to be oxycodone, prosecutors said.

Wynn also agreed to withhold $3,000 of the proceeds of his crime, prosecutors said.
