SYRACUSE, NEW YORK – Alisha Obey, 35, of Fulton, New York, was sentenced to 57 months in prison for unlawfully possessing with the intent to distribute the synthetic drug eutylone, a Schedule I controlled substance.
The announcement was made by United States Attorney Carla B. Freedman and Matthew J. Scarpino, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the Buffalo Field Office of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
Alisha Obey was charged with unlawfully possessing with the intent to distribute the synthetic drug eutylone.
As part of her prior guilty plea, Obey admitted that on July 14, 2019, November 8, 2019, and December 3, 2019, she possessed eutylone, which she intended to distribute to customers throughout Oswego County.
Eutylone is a synthetic cathinone and has pharmacological effects on the central nervous system similar to other Schedule I or II substances such as methylone, pentylone, cocaine, methamphetamine, and MDMA.
