On Tuesday, the Green Bay man who was charged with several repeat drug offenses appeared in court ahead of a two-day jury trial; however, the trial has been postponed after he was found guilty after entering a no-contest plea.
The 47-year-old Alvin Mccranie, often known as “Ghost,” was found guilty on several counts of repeatedly possessing and distributing cocaine.
- 1. Deliver Cocaine (<=1g), Repeater, On or Near a School
- Faces up to ten years in prison, could add nine years due to repeat offense and near a school
- 3. Deliver Cocaine (>5 to 15g), Repeater, On or Near a Park
- Faces up to 15 years in prison, but could be increased by 11 due to a repeat offense and near a park
- 4. Possession with Intent to Deliver Cocaine (>40g), Repeater
- Faces up to 40 years in prison, which could be increased by six years due to a repeat offense
- 5. Maintaining a Drug Trafficking Place, Repeater
- Faces up to 3.5 years in prison, with the possibility of four years added on due to a repeat offense
Although the court read in the other two charges, which were dropped during the hearing, his current bond was upheld.
While being held at the Brown County Jail, Mccranie appeared in court. On September 5 at 8:45 a.m., the sentencing hearing has been scheduled.
Along with the accusations, Alvin Mccranie’s conviction represents a major milestone in the region’s ongoing fight against narcotics trafficking.
Authorities have been concentrating on taking tough measures against repeat offenders who distribute cocaine and other illegal substances, particularly in neighborhoods close to parks and schools where there is a greater risk of community harm.
Mccranie’s arrest is a component of a broader effort to dismantle regional drug networks and hold accountable those involved in the cycle of addiction and violence. Authorities are treating drug trafficking with seriousness, as evidenced by the prosecution’s attempts to get long prison terms for those implicated.
It is anticipated to act as a reminder of the continuous battle against drug-related crimes in the region as the sentence hearing in September draws near.
