What Happened To Elliot Neese On Deadliest Catch?

Neese has continued to struggle with his addiction problem since completing his initial rehab stint. The former "Deadliest Catch" cast member took to Instagram back in 2017 and revealed that he had completed 90 days of sobriety, suggesting that he'd relapsed prior to becoming clean again.

Neese faced more drug-related drama in December of last year. As KTOO noted, the crab boat captain pled guilty to dealing narcotics. Neese's plea agreement revealed that he was involved in a "large narcotics trafficking operation on the Kenai Peninsula" that primarily focused on heroin distribution. Details regarding Neese's sentencing are unclear as of this writing. However, the KTOO report stated that he could face between five and 40 years in prison. Neese has been quiet about the case on social media in recent times, but his fans will be pleased to know that it's not all doom and gloom for the captain.
