Syracuse man admits guilt in federal methamphetamine distribution case

Quintron Dixon, a 22-year-old resident of Syracuse, has pleaded guilty to charges related to distributing methamphetamine. According to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of New York, Dixon admitted to selling approximately 52 grams of pure methamphetamine in Syracuse on September 13, 2023. He also acknowledged that when he was arrested on July 24, 2025, police found about 84 grams of methamphetamine in his possession with the intent to distribute.

Acting United States Attorney John A. Sarcone III commented on the case: “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.”

Bryan Miller, Special Agent in Charge of the New York Field Division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), 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.”

Sentencing for Dixon is scheduled for February 11, 2026 before Senior United States District Judge Glenn T. Suddaby. Each count carries a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison and could result in up to forty years imprisonment. Dixon also faces potential fines up to $5 million and a supervised release term ranging from four years up to life.

The case is being investigated by ATF with assistance from the Syracuse Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Matt McCrobie is handling prosecution.
