A drug peddling DeCavalcante crime family mobster was sentenced yesterday to 30 months in prison for his role in distributing more than 500 grams of cocaine. John Capozzi, a 36-year-old mob associate of Union, New Jersey, had previously pleaded guilty.
Capozzi was arrested in March of 2015, along with nine members of the DeCavalcante crime family, including capo Charles Stango. "Johnny Balls" admitted that between December 12, 2014 and March 2015, in conjunction with other family associates, he sold more than one-half a kilo of cocaine to an undercover FBI agent for at least $78,000.
In addition to the prison term, Capozzi was sentenced to two years of supervised release.
