Austin K. Alig, 24, was sentenced Friday in Dayton’s U.S. District Court on two counts related to drug dealing.
U.S. District Court Judge Walter Rice said Alig will get credit for six days jail-time credit, that he will be housed in a low-level prison camp as close as possible to Dayton and that he get a mental health assessment and counseling. Alig also was given three years’ probation and not ordered to pay a fine.
Alig will be allowed to report to the U.S. Marshals on March 11, 2019. Court records indicated the extra time would be to allow Alig “to establish a productive relationship with his mental health professional before his incarceration.”
Last year, Alig pleaded guilty to trying to import methylenedioxymethamphetamine (known as MDMA or ecstasy) and one for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.
Rice said last year that Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in Chicago alerted agents in Cincinnati that a K-9 had alerted to drugs. HSI replaced the MDMA/Ecstasy with fakes and arranged for them to be delivered to Alig’s residence on Falcon Ridge Court.
Two DVDs contained 510 purple tablets that fieldtested positive for ecstasy. The third DVD contained a brownish-crystal like substance that field tested positive for ecstasy.
A search of Alig’s home also uncovered more than 50 grams of meth, a digital scale, small bags and other drug paraphernalia, according to a complaint written by an HSI special agent. — Mark Gokavi
