Local Man Sentenced to 5 Years for Methamphetamine and Fentanyl Trafficking
BANGOR, Maine – On May 2021, members of the Bangor Police Department responded to a gas station to find Blaine Footman, 35, passed out behind the wheel of a running vehicle. According to court records, Footman possessed with the intent to distribute five grams or more of methamphetamine and an amount of fentanyl. He was also in possession of a Glock Model 19 9mm handgun.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency with assistance from the Bangor Police Department.
On June 22, 2021, Footman pleaded guilty to the charges.
U.S. District Judge Lance E. Walker sentenced Footman to five years in prison and four years of supervised release.
This harsh sentence serves as a reminder of the severity of the crime and the consequences of trafficking methamphetamine and fentanyl. Both of these substances have devastating effects on individuals and communities.
The investigation and prosecution of this case demonstrate the commitment of law enforcement agencies to combatting the flow of illicit substances in our state.
The full weight of the law will be brought to bear on those who engage in this type of activity. We will continue to work tirelessly to disrupt and dismantle the networks involved in methamphetamine and fentanyl trafficking.
