ALBANY, NEW YORK - Patrick Tucker, age 28, of Schenectady, New York, was sentenced yesterday to 188 months in prison for distributing methamphetamine.

United States Attorney John A. Sarcone III and Frank A. Tarentino III, Special Agent in Charge, U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), New York Division, made the announcement.

As part of his guilty plea, Tucker admitted to distributing methamphetamine on three occasions between January and March 2023. While on pretrial release, Tucker absconded from supervision, led law enforcement on a high-speed chase that was called off for safety reasons, and was discovered in possession of additional drugs when he was later apprehended by the deputies of the United States Marshal Service.

United States District Judge Anne M. Nardacci also ordered Tucker to serve a 4-year term of supervised release following his term of imprisonment.

The DEA investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Dustin C. Segovia prosecuted the case.
