U.S. Attorney Alison J. Ramsdell announced that three men from Colorado have been sentenced to federal prison for their involvement in a large-scale cocaine distribution conspiracy in Rapid City, South Dakota.
Sean Flynn, 44, of Denver, and Brian White III, 49, of Broomfield, each received a sentence of 11 years and 3 months, while Marcelo Moreno, 35, of Brighton, was sentenced to 10 years and 10 months.
All three men will also serve five years of supervised release and pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
The convictions stem from a conspiracy to distribute cocaine between Denver and Rapid City. Flynn, who coordinated the drug sales and distribution, obtained the cocaine from White, who in turn received it from Moreno. Another co-defendant, Thomas Delong, who distributed the cocaine in Rapid City, was previously sentenced to 12 years and seven months in prison.
