Quintron Dixon, a 22-year-old resident of Syracuse, pleaded guilty to distributing methamphetamine and possessing the drug with intent to distribute. The plea was announced by Acting United States Attorney John A. Sarcone III and Bryan Miller, Special Agent in Charge of the New York Field Division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF).
According to court documents, Dixon admitted that on September 13, 2023, he sold about 52 grams of pure methamphetamine to a customer in Syracuse. He also acknowledged that when he was arrested on July 24, 2025, police found approximately 84 grams of methamphetamine in his pocket intended for distribution.
Acting United States Attorney John A. Sarcone III said: “Methamphetamine is a particularly dangerous and addictive drug, and those who peddle this deadly poison are a scourge on our communities. Together with our law enforcement partners, the U.S. Attorney’s Office is dedicated to rooting out drug traffickers and putting them behind bars, where they belong.”
ATF Special Agent in Charge Bryan Miller added: “This guilty plea reflects the strength of ongoing collaboration with ATF NY Syracuse Field Office, Syracuse PD Intel Unit and the US Attorney’s Office NDNY. Those who think they can disregard laws and push dangerous drugs into our communities – fueling addiction and death – will be held accountable. ATF NY remains committed to protecting our neighborhoods and ensuring the safety of those we serve.”
Dixon’s sentencing is set for February 11, 2026 before Senior United States District Judge Glenn T. Suddaby. He faces at least five years and up to forty years in prison for each count, fines up to $5 million per count, and supervised release ranging from four years up to life. Sentencing will depend on federal statutes as well as the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines.
The investigation was led by ATF with help from the Syracuse Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Matt McCrobie is prosecuting the case.
