BOISE – Jason Lee Burgess, 44, of Boise, Idaho, was sentenced today to 84 months imprisonment, U.S. Attorney Wendy J. Olson announced.
After his release from prison, Burgess will be placed on supervised release for three years. Burgess was originally indicted on December 8, 2015, and entered his guilty plea to a superseding information on November 16, 2016.
Burgess, one of eleven individuals involved in a drug distribution ring, aided a co-defendant in selling methamphetamine to an undercover officer. The drug distribution ring was led by Stacy Wilfong, who is now serving over 18 years in federal prison for his leadership role in the conspiracy.
In addition to methamphetamine, Wilfong and his co-conspirators sold heroin, and a synthetic controlled substance called Alpha-pyrrolidinopentiophenone, known as “a-PVP,” or “bath salts” to individuals throughout the Treasure Valley.
Six other co-conspirators have already been sentenced. Anthony “Tony” Kitchen, 47, is serving a 71-month sentence in federal prison, Jocelin Jessica Gonzalez, 19, is serving 40 months, Elizabeth Ann Gaytan, 37, is serving 100 months, Regina Wade, 50, is serving 41 months, Breannyn Nicole Pederson, 25, is serving 18 months, and Isela Garza, 36, is serving 48 months.
Two co-defendants are awaiting sentencing. David Anthony Wales, 31, of Boise is scheduled to be sentenced on June 14, 2017, and Adam William Dillon, 28, of Nampa is scheduled to be sentenced on March 8, 2017.
The Treasure Valley Metro Violent Crime Task Force and the Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) led the joint investigation that resulted in the convictions of the Treasure Valley drug traffickers.
