Repeat Felon Sentenced to Nearly Eight Years in State Prison for Firearms and Narcotics Offenses

Defendant Brett Blaisure resolved three active cases in San Joaquin County by pleading no contest to multiple felony charges involving illegal firearms and narcotics.

 

On April 15, 2025, officers contacted Blaisure during an investigation into stolen vehicles. He admitted there was a firearm and cocaine inside his vehicle. Officers recovered a loaded black Glock Gen 4 Model 30, Ziploc baggies containing methamphetamine, cocaine, and heroin, along with a 30-round extended magazine. Blaisure was released on bail.

 

While out on bail, on May 8, 2025, officers searched his residence and located a semi-automatic shotgun, various caliber ammunition, and additional firearms. Blaisure claimed ownership of the illegal items and was again released on bail.

 

On April 23, 2026, while still out on bail, officers conducted a search in a known motorcycle gang warehouse area where Blaisure was located with his vehicle. Inside the vehicle, officers found a loaded Glock 21 on the back floorboard and, in a grocery bag on the driver’s floorboard, approximately 1.5 pounds of methamphetamine, multiple baggies, and a digital scale.

 

Blaisure is a convicted felon with no prior strikes and has open cases for firearms and narcotics sales in two additional counties.

 

To resolve all matters in San Joaquin County, Blaisure pled no contest to transportation of narcotics while armed with a firearm, felon in possession of a firearm, and drug sales. He was sentenced to a total of 7 years and 8 months in state prison.

 

“Repeat offenders who arm themselves while trafficking dangerous narcotics pose a serious threat to our community,” said District Attorney Ron Freitas. “This significant state prison sentence holds Blaisure accountable and removes a prolific felon from our streets. We will continue to prioritize these cases to protect public safety.”

 

The San Joaquin County District Attorney’s Office thanks Delta RATT and AGNET for their investigative work.
