A man from Clearfield County has been sentenced to 17 years (204 months) for being the mastermind behind a major methamphetamine trafficking operation, according to United States Attorney Eric G. Olshan.

According to Olshan, Alexis Brolin Jr., 55, from Allport, has been found guilty of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, unlawful possession of a firearm, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

Brolin will not only serve a 204-month sentence in federal prison but will also be subjected to five years of supervised release.

In a massive drug bust across Centre, Clearfield, Clinton, and Erie counties, Brolin was among the 38 individuals arrested in 2020. As per the court records, it was revealed that Brolin had conspired with others to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine and 500 grams or more of a mixture containing methamphetamine.

Brolin, who was involved in directing the trafficking activity in Clearfield and nearby areas, was apprehended through a federal wiretap. The wiretap revealed that he was acquiring methamphetamine and distributing it to others. Upon his arrest, authorities discovered that he had over 650 grams of methamphetamine intended for Clearfield.

During the search of Brolin’s residence, authorities discovered additional methamphetamine and a collection of 11 firearms. The firearms included five shotguns, two rifles, an AK-style rifle, and three pistols. It was revealed that several of these firearms were missing serial numbers, indicating potential illegal activity.

According to Olshan, Brolin’s previous felony conviction for robbery prohibited him from owning any firearms or ammunition. Additionally, Brolin admitted to possessing a firearm to aid in his drug trafficking offense.

According to Olshan, Brolin was involved in a conspiracy to launder money by arranging for distributors in his network to pre-pay for drugs using money wires. These transactions took place between various locations within Western Pennsylvania.
