Quintron Dixon, a 22-year-old resident of Syracuse, pleaded guilty to charges of distributing and possessing methamphetamine 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 to selling approximately 52 grams of pure methamphetamine on September 13, 2023. He also acknowledged that during his arrest on July 24, 2025, Syracuse police officers found about 84 grams of methamphetamine in his possession, which he intended to distribute.
Acting United States Attorney John A. Sarcone III commented: “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 is scheduled for sentencing on February 11, 2026 before Senior United States District Judge Glenn T. Suddaby. He faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison per count and could receive up to forty years per count. The court may also impose a fine up to $5 million and supervised release ranging from four years to life.
The case is being investigated by ATF with support from the Syracuse Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Matt McCrobie is prosecuting.
