A New York man is facing charges that he illegally possessed more than 900 cartons of cigarettes.
U.S. Attorney William Ihlenfeld II says Mohammad D. Mohammad was indicted on one count of transporting and possessing contraband cigarettes without paying applicable state cigarette taxes.
The indictment says officers found the cigarettes and $499 on Mohammad when he was stopped in Lewis County on March 29.
If convicted, Mohammad faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
It was not immediately apparent if Mohammad had an attorney.
