Anchorage, Alaska man Spresim Alimi, 36, has been sentenced to 136 months in prison for selling large quantities of Oxycodone out of his auto repair shop.
According to court documents, Alimi owned and operated Alpina Auto, an auto repair shop which he used as a front to distribute large quantities of Oxycodone at $35 per pill.
On July 7, 2016, Alimi pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute Oxycodone and agreed to forfeit $88,146 and a 2016 Dodge Viper.
After search warrants were executed on Alimi’s residence, business, and storage unit, he was found to be in possession of 4,363 Oxycodone pills, almost $90,000 in cash, and a 2016 Dodge Viper, which had been purchased shortly before his arrest.
The street value of the 4,363 Oxycodone pills was over $150,000. The investigation further revealed that Alimi would sometimes use the credit card machine at Alpina Auto to conduct narcotics transactions with buyers.
Alimi was also found in possession of a number of firearms, several of which were reported stolen.
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Alaska State Troopers (AST), and the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) conducted the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of this case.
Chief U.S. District Judge Timothy M. Burgess sentenced Alimi to the 136-month prison term.
