A New York man was sentenced Monday to 34 months in federal prison after he was caught transporting what officials describe as a "smorgasbord" of drugs to the 2018 Burning Man festival.
Alexander Zelyakovsky was pulled over by a Colorado state trooper as he headed to the week-long festival in the Black Rock Desert in Northern Nevada.
A vehicle search uncovered large quantities of ecstasy, LSD, cocaine and $26,000 in cash.
