A Phoenix man has been sentenced to 50 months in prison for his role in a cross-country methamphetamine distribution conspiracy. Brandon Greenberg, 30, of Phoenix, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge John J. Tuchi to 50 months in prison, followed by 48 months of supervised release for conspiracy and distribution of methamphetamine.
Between September 2018 and June 2019, Greenberg mailed 30 parcels of methamphetamine, ranging from less than half a pound to roughly six pounds, from Arizona to Massachusetts through the U.S. Postal Service. Most of the methamphetamine originated in Phoenix and was then distributed by Greenberg’s co-conspirators in the greater Boston metropolitan area.
Western Union and U.S. Postal Service records established payments sent from co-conspirators in Massachusetts to Greenberg in Arizona. During the execution of a search warrant at Greenberg’s residence in Phoenix in August 2019, investigators seized an additional 486 grams of methamphetamine.
Several other individuals who participated in the conspiracy have pleaded guilty and are awaiting sentencing in Massachusetts. The case is part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) operation, which identifies, disrupts, and dismantles the highest-level criminal organizations that threaten the United States.
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service, Drug Enforcement Administration, and Homeland Security Investigations conducted the investigation in this case. Assistance was provided by the Massachusetts State Police, the Boston (Massachusetts) Police Department, the Peoria (Arizona) Police Department, the Middlesex County (Massachusetts) District Attorney’s Office, the Suffolk County (Massachusetts) District Attorney’s Office, and the Arlington (Massachusetts) Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney James E. Arnold, District of Massachusetts and Assistant U.S. Attorney Jacqueline Schesnol, District of Arizona, handled the prosecution.
Greenberg previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy and distribution of methamphetamine. He will serve 50 months in prison, followed by 48 months of supervised release. The defendant has been held accountable for his role in distributing large quantities of methamphetamine across the country.
This case is part of an ongoing effort to dismantle and disrupt organized crime in the United States. The U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Arizona, has a long history of working with law enforcement agencies to combat the flow of narcotics and other illicit substances.
