A Clearfield County man pleaded guilty in federal court to narcotics, firearms and money laundering charges.

Alexis Brolin Jr., 55, of Allport, pleaded guilty on Friday before United States Senior District Judge Kim R. Gibson to Counts two through five of the superseding indictment.

In connection with the plea, Brolin was accused of conspiring with others from around July 2019 to around April 2020 to possess and distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine, and 500 grams or more of a mixture and substance containing methamphetamine.

Brolin, who’s accused of leading the drug trafficking organization in Clearfield and surrounding areas, was caught on a federal wiretap purchasing and selling kilogram quantities of meth and selling it to others. When he was arrested, police found more than 650 grams of meth on his person that he planned to sell.

Following his arrest, a search warrant was executed at his residence where police found additional meth along with 11 firearms and ammunition. This included five shotguns, two rifles, an AK-style rifle, and three pistols with multiple weapons not having serial numbers. Under federal law, Brolin was prohibited from possessing any firearm or ammunition based on a previous felony conviction for robbery.

Brolin also conspired to commit money laundering between July 2019 and June 2020 by having various distributors pre-pay him for drugs he was selling through money wires to and from various locations in Western Pennsylvania.

Brolin is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 20. The law provides a maximum total sentence of not less than 10 years and up to life in prison, a fine of up to $10 million or both.
