Two Men Charged Following Investigation into Unlicensed Cannabis Sales
The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO), working in partnership with the New York State Office of Cannabis Management (OCM), arrested two men on September 29, 2026, following an investigation into unlicensed cannabis sales at Brockport Convenience, located at 4756 Lake Road South in the Town of Sweden.
MCSO investigators obtained search warrants for both the business and a South Street apartment in Brockport where the employees were staying. The search of Brockport Convenience resulted in the recovery of several pounds of cannabis, various cannabis-related products and currency. At the South Street apartment, investigators recovered additional currency and keys to a storage closet at the shopping plaza where Brockport Convenience is located. Additional cannabis-related products were subsequently recovered from the storage area.
The first suspect, Ali Al Fanini was taken into custody at the South Street apartment. The second suspect, Jalal Mohamed Alawi Hussein was not present at either location when the warrants were executed. MCSO personnel later apprehended him after locating a vehicle associated with both men traveling west on West Ridge Road.
Ali S. Al Fanini, 32, of Brockport is charged with:
- Criminal Possession of Cannabis in the Third Degree (Class A-Misdemeanor)
- Unlawful Sale of Cannabis (Violation) (3 Counts)
Jalal Mohamed Alawi Hussein, 24, of Brockport is charged with:
- Criminal Possession of Cannabis in the Third Degree (Class A-Misdemeanor)
