BOSTON – Alehandros Medina, a 25-year-old from Southbridge, faced federal court in Worcester today for being a felon in possession of a firearm, distributing drugs, and attempting money laundering.
Medina was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Timothy S. Hillman to five years in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. His convictions stem from his activities between November 2014 and October 2015, when he sold cocaine, MDMA (ecstasy), Methylone, and ketamine to an undercover federal agent while on state probation for possession with intent to distribute controlled substances.
Medina’s illegal activities came to a head in August 2015, when he traveled to Oregon. There, police intercepted him and seized nearly $22,000 intended for marijuana purchases. A month later, Southbridge police arrested him as he delivered cocaine to an undercover agent. Agents also seized cocaine and a loaded .38 caliber revolver from his residence.
The charges were brought by Acting United States Attorney William D. Weinreb, Michal J. Ferguson of the Drug Enforcement Administration’s New England Field Division, and Southbridge Police Chief Shane Woodson. Assistant U.S. Attorney Greg A. Friedholm prosecuted the case for Weinreb’s Worcester Branch Office.
This conviction sends a strong message against drug trafficking and illegal firearm possession, emphasizing the commitment to justice in the federal court system.
