Rochester, MN (KROC-AM News) - A Rochester man is scheduled to be sentenced in October for a conviction stemming from a significant drug bust earlier this year.

42-year-old Sean Alexander today entered into a plea and admitted to a 3rd-degree charge involving drug sales. In exchange, Olmsted County prosecutors agreed to drop 2nd-degree and a 5th-degree charge stemming from his arrest following a traffic stop in February. The criminal complaint says Alexander and a 20-year-old woman were intercepted on I-90 near Dover by investigators in possession of a search warrant covering the vehicle, its occupants, and Alexander's home.

Another 39 grams of heroin was seized at his home, along with 13 ounces of marijuana, approximately 5 grams of marijuana wax, and items associated with the sale of drugs.
