After a four-day trial that began on December 4, 2020, Ricardo Mercado-Lozano and Stacey Parcell Gibson were convicted for their roles in the scheme. The organization was fronted by Battle Creek resident Andrew Bravo.
Ricardo Mercado-Lozano was the last of the 11 to be sentenced. According to the Attorneyâs Office, he will serve 24 years and four months in prison on conspiracy and distribution related charges.
The organization distributed various drugs throughout the areas of Kalamazoo and Battle Creek between May 2017 and December 2019 when a bust occurred.
Bravo later pleaded guilty and received a sentence of 264 months in prison last October.
U.S. Attorney Andrew Birge said Mercado-Lozano would supply the substances to Bravo, who would later distribute them in those areas. Meanwhile, Stacey Parcell Gibson would receive drugs from Bravo for distribution in Battle Creek.
