Assistant U.S. Attorney Frank T. Pimentel, who handled the case, stated that between Oct. 21, 2011, and Dec. 13, 2012, Allen M. Young conspired with Peter Viera to obtain methylone from China, which Young then distributed. On Dec. 13, 2012, while members of the Orleans County Major Felony Crime Task Force were attempting to execute a search warrant on Young and his car, he fled at a high rate of speed before crashing the car in Ridgeway. Young fled the scene on foot. Nine rounds of .50 caliber ammunition were found in the car. As he fled, the defendant discarded a backpack near the scene of the crash which contained 1.8 pounds of methylone and just over one pound of marijuana.
Young was subsequently arrested in Erie, Pa. on Feb. 14, 2013. On April 5, 2013, officers executed a search warrant at his residence and seized seven firearms belonging to the defendant.
Peter Viera was also convicted and sentenced to 70 months in prison.
