Alvin Lewis "Chief" Macauley, who pleaded guilty of conspiring to distribute heroin and carrying a firearm while engaged in drug trafficking

Alvin Lewis "Chief" Macauley, who pleaded guilty of conspiring to distribute heroin and carrying a firearm while engaged in drug trafficking, was sentenced to 12 years and three months, fined $1,000 and ordered to submit to supervision by the federal probation office for five years after release.Assistant U.S. Attorney Don Wolthuis said after Macauley's hearing that a motion of substantial assistance filed by the government was withdrawn pending resolution of heroin possession and gun charges that Macauley faces in New Jersey. A substantial assistance motion recognizes a defendant's assistance to investigators and lets a judge waive mandatory minimum sentences. Once the New Jersey case is finished, the substantial assistance motion may refiled and Macauley's sentence reconsidered, Wolthuis said.
