FARGO (KFGO/KBRF) – The leader of the criminal “Slither Gang” from Fergus Falls has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for violent robberies.
26-year-old Abbot Aho, of Fergus Falls, who is also known as Boogie, was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Fargo on Tuesday.
Aho was sentenced on a number of charges including Continuing Criminal Enterprise, Conspiracy to Possess with Intent to Distribute and Distribute Controlled Substances, and Use of a Firearm during a Crime of Violence.
Prosecutors say Aho and co-conspirators often resorted to home invasions or setting up victims to meet in public and then robbed them of drugs, money, firearms, and personal property, later selling the drugs they stole.
The crimes took place from January through May 2019.
Several co-conspirators have also been sentenced for their involvement in the violent robberies.
