SUFFOLK COUNTY, N.Y. — Travis Austin, 31, of Islip, was sentenced to 12 years in prison for his role in a narcotics and illegal firearms trafficking ring, Suffolk County District Attorney Timothy D. Tierney announced.
Austin pleaded guilty in August 2025 to multiple felony charges stemming from an investigation that revealed he conducted large sales of fentanyl, cocaine, and illegal guns across Suffolk County between June and September 2024.
Authorities arrested Austin on October 1, 2024, in the parking lot of a Starbucks in Islandia, where he had arranged the sale of five firearms. Police recovered five unserialized handguns with 3D‑printed parts, fentanyl, cocaine, and several cellphones from his vehicle. A search of his storage unit uncovered kilo presses and drug-distribution equipment.
Austin pleaded guilty to numerous charges, including Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance in the First Degree and Criminal Sale of a Firearm in the Third Degree, leading to his 12-year prison sentence on January 20, 2026.
