Kymere Thomas, 28, of Albany, pleaded guilty October 5 to distributing crack cocaine, federal prosecutors announced Friday. His sentencing is scheduled for January 27, 2027.
Authorities said Thomas sold more than 50 grams of cocaine and more than 580 grams of crack cocaine in eight transactions between March and August 2025. One transaction involved 292 grams of crack and more than $11,000.
A search of his residence uncovered another 650 grams of cocaine and 15 grams of crack, according to the release. Thomas was remanded to custody after entering his plea.
The offense carries a mandatory minimum prison term of 10 years. The FBI investigated, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicholas Walter prosecuted the case.
