Alexander Brock, a 60-year-old Baton Rouge man, has been sentenced to 110 months in federal prison for his role in a major drug trafficking conspiracy. Brock acted as a middleman, brokering high-quantity deals to distribute cocaine and crack cocaine in East Baton Rouge and Iberville Parishes. The conspiracy, which involved more than 500 grams of cocaine and 28 grams of crack cocaine, was busted after a three-day trial.
The evidence presented at trial showed that Brock not only brokered deals but also converted cocaine into crack cocaine and distributed it to his own customers. The jury unanimously convicted Brock of conspiracy to distribute cocaine and crack cocaine.
The prosecution was the result of a joint effort between the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Iberville Parish Sheriff’s Office. U.S. Attorney Kurt L. Wall praised the teamwork and collaboration between the agencies, saying it was a key factor in the success of the operation.
Brock’s sentencing includes 110 months in federal prison, followed by four years of supervised release. The case was part of the Homeland Security Task Force initiative, which aims to eliminate criminal cartels and transnational criminal organizations operating in the United States.
