BOISE - Alexandr Stricharskiy, 40, of Meridian, was
sentenced in U.S. District Court to 63 months in prison for distributing fifty
grams or more of pure methamphetamine, U.S. Attorney Bart M. Davis announced
today. Senior U.S. District Judge Edward J. Lodge also ordered Stricharskiy to
pay a $2,500 fine and serve five years of supervised release following his
prison sentence. Stricharskiy pleaded guilty to the charge on April 18, 2019.
According to court records, Stricharskiy sold
methamphetamine to an undercover law enforcement officer on three occasions.
Also as part of his crimes, Stricharskiy agreed to make a hidden compartment in
a vehicle so others could secretly transport drugs. Stricharskiy was the owner
and operator of an auto body shop located at 2701 West Idaho Street, Boise,
Idaho. As part of his plea agreement, he agreed that this property facilitated
his drug trafficking and was subject to forfeiture. The sale of the property
netted $100,000 to be forfeited to the United States as equivalent to
unrecovered drug proceeds.
This case was investigated by Federal Bureau of
Investigation and Boise Police Department.
This indictment is the result of a joint investigation by the
Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF). The OCDETF program is
a federal multi-agency, multi-jurisdictional task force that supplies
supplemental federal funding to federal and state agencies. The principal
mission of the OCDETF program is to identify, disrupt and dismantle the most
serious drug trafficking, weapons trafficking and money laundering
organizations, and those primarily responsible for the nation’s illegal drug
supply. Program participants include Federal Bureau of Investigation; Drug
Enforcement Administration; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and
Explosives; U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security
Investigations; Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation; and U.S.
Marshals Service.
