Priscilla Ramirez, a 27-year-old woman from Stockton, California, was sentenced to two years in prison for her involvement in a massive drug trafficking operation in Kodiak, Alaska.

On June 2016, Priscilla Ramirez was stopped by the Kodiak Police and searched. The officers found a bag containing 117 grams of heroin, 27 grams of methamphetamine, 6.9 grams of cocaine, and $4,500 in cash. Her phone was also searched and revealed several messages discussing drug sales.

U.S. Attorney Karen L. Loeffler praised the Kodiak Police, the Kodiak Coast Guard Investigative Service, and the DEA for their efforts in bringing Ramirez to justice.

Chief U.S. District Judge Timothy M. Burgess handed down the sentence, noting the severity of the crime and the quantities of narcotics involved.

As part of her sentence, Ramirez will be required to serve three years of supervised release following her prison term. She was also ordered to forfeit the $4,500 in cash seized from her possession.

The investigation and prosecution of Ramirez were a testament to the dedication of law enforcement agencies in Alaska to combating the scourge of drug trafficking.

Priscilla Ramirez’s case serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of drug trafficking and the long-term impact it can have on individuals and communities.
