KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Tammy Dickinson, United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced that a Kansas City, Mo., man pleaded guilty in federal court today to his role in a drug-trafficking conspiracy that totaled more than $1 million over the past year and to illegally possessing a firearm.

Corbin J. Bosiljevac, 36, of Kansas City, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Dean Whipple to his role in a conspiracy to distribute more than five kilograms of cocaine and to possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug-trafficking offense.

According to today’s plea agreement, police detectives stopped one of Bosiljevac’s drug-trafficking customers as he was leaving Bosiljevac’s residence and found drugs in the vehicle. Officers executed a search warrant at Bosiljevac’s residence and found marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, and hundreds of pills of various prescription drugs. Officers also found a Kel-Tec 9mm handgun and $1,863 in Bosiljevac’s residence.

Bosiljevac admitted that he sold $20,000 worth of drugs each week. He had separate sources to supply the cocaine and the pills, he told officers. He stated that he bought cocaine for re-sale on a weekly basis, getting an average of four ounces per week (although he admitted getting 16 ounces on the last transaction).

Under federal statutes, Bosiljevac is subject to a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years in federal prison without parole, up to a sentence of life in federal prison without parole, plus a fine up to $4,250,000. A sentencing hearing will be scheduled after the completion of a presentence investigation by the United States Probation Office.
