Andre Hunter, Heroin and Cocaine Trafficking, Maine 2014
A 48-year-old Rochester, New Hampshire man has been sentenced to nearly 20 years in prison for his role in a heroin and cocaine trafficking operation in Maine.
According to court records, from April 2014 until his arrest in October of the same year, Andre Hunter distributed between 700 and 1,000 grams of heroin to dealers in Portland and Rochester who distributed it to customers in those areas.
On September 26, 2014, Hunter was stopped by police while driving from Rochester to Portland because they suspected him of delivering drugs. A search of his vehicle led to the seizure of about 24 grams of heroin and 5 grams of cocaine. A search of his Rochester residence resulted in the seizure of a digital scale with drug residue, drug packaging and $30,000.
The case against Hunter resulted from a joint investigation conducted by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the Maine State Police and the Strafford County Drug Task Force. Hunter pleaded guilty to the charges on December 18, 2014.
U.S. Attorney Thomas E. Delahanty II announced the sentence, which was handed down by Judge Nancy Torresen. Hunter will serve 235 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release.
