A resident of Allport, Pennsylvania, was sentenced in federal court to 204 months in prison, to be followed by five years of supervised release, on his convictions of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, unlawful possession of a firearm, and conspiracy to commit money laundering, United States Attorney Eric G. Olshan announced Monday.
Senior United States District Judge Kim R. Gibson imposed the sentence on Alexis Brolin Jr., 55, on September 20, 2024.
According to information presented to the Court, from in and around July 2019 to in and around April 2020 in the Western District of Pennsylvania, Brolin conspired with others to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine and 500 grams or more of a mixture and substance containing methamphetamine.
Brolin, who directed the drug trafficking organisation’s activity in Clearfield and surrounding areas, was intercepted on a federal wiretap obtaining kilogram quantities of methamphetamine that he distributed to others and was arrested in possession of more than 650 grams of methamphetamine destined for Clearfield during an April 2020 interdiction stop.
Executing a search warrant at Brolin’s residence on the day of his arrest, law enforcement agents seized additional quantities of methamphetamine, as well as 11 firearms and ammunition, including five shotguns, two rifles, an AK-style rifle, and three pistols, with numerous of the firearms not having serial numbers.
Under federal law, Brolin was prohibited from possessing any firearm or ammunition based on his earlier felony conviction for robbery. Brolin also pleaded guilty to possessing a firearm in furtherance of his drug trafficking crime.
Additionally, from in and around July 2019 to June 2020, Brolin conspired to commit money laundering by having various distributors pre-pay him for the drugs he was to provide them through money wires to and from various locations within Western Pennsylvania.
