Rochester Man Who Listed Cocaine For Sale on Snapchat Sentenced

Rochester, MN (KROC-AM News) - A Rochester man who was accused of advertising cocaine for sale on social media has been given a stayed prison sentence.

Olmsted County Court records show that in addition to the 73 month stayed prison term, 25-year-old Demontae Bragg has also been placed on probation for five years.

He previously entered a guilty plea to a first-degree drug charge in exchange for the dismissal of another felony drug count stemming from a Rochester Police Department investigation. Court documents indicate the investigation was conducted in December 2021 after a police informant told investigators about the Snapchat posts advertising cocaine for sale.
