Two brothers from Faribault, Minn. will spend the next five years behind bars for distributing cocaine, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
Ahmed Hadi Al Jebory, 21, and Mohammed Hadi Al Jebory, 23, will be placed on five years supervised release when they get out of jail, according to the sentences handed down Thursday by United States District Court Judge Donovan Frank.
According to their respective plea agreements, Ahmed Jebory knowingly and intentionally conspired with his brother and others to possess with intent to distribute 19.5 grams of crack cocaine, and 95.6 grams of a substance containing detectable amount of cocaine.
According to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, law enforcement began investigating the brothers in January 2007 and made two "arranged controlled purchases" on Jan. 27 and 29 in a store parking lot in Faribault.
A few days later, authorities executed a search warrant at a Faribault residence and found more than 90 grams of cocaine and several items indicative of drug trafficking. They also found $13,500 cash, a loaded 9-millimeter pistol and an unloaded .25-caliber pistol.
