STERLING, ALASKA – A Sterling woman has been sentenced to 4 years in prison for her role in a massive drug trafficking operation in Southcentral Alaska.
Susan Jan Bradshaw, 55, was sentenced by United States District Judge Sharon L. Gleason to 4 years in prison, followed by a three-year term of supervised release, for her role in a drug and money laundering conspiracy throughout Southcentral Alaska.
Bryan Schroder, U.S. Attorney for the District of Alaska, said that Bradshaw and her co-conspirator, Mark Norman Hanes, were part of a conspiracy that distributed methamphetamine and heroin throughout Southcentral Alaska between mid-2014 and January 14, 2015.
According to court documents, individuals in Anchorage supplied Bradshaw and Hanes with the drugs, driving to meet them at the home they shared in Sterling on at least two occasions to deliver product. Payment for those drugs would then be made through deposits into bank accounts controlled by the conspiracy.
During a search of Bradshaw and Hanes’ property on January 14, 2015, law enforcement located approximately one pound of methamphetamine and a half-pound of heroin in a safe in their bedroom. Also located in the safe was more than $5,000 in cash, a loaded Glock handgun, and an envelope that contained a U-Haul magnetic security card, and two keys.
Bradshaw and Hanes were not present at their residence at the time of the search, having traveled to Mexico approximately one week prior. Following the search, they stayed in Mexico and remained there until they were arrested on or about September 11, 2017.
