Federal prosecutors say a 29-year-old Rochester man will spend more than five and a half years in prison for conspiring to distribute cocaine and possessing a gun while a convicted felon.
Lorenzo Watson was arrested in September of 2019 after parole officers failed to find him at home during a compliance check. They found him walking the streets with 40 bags of cocaine and a pistol, plus more than $500 in cash.
Watson was previously convicted as a drug dealer, and forbidden from owning weapons.
