Bangor, ME – In a shocking turn of events, Deondray Warren, a 35-year-old Rochester, New York man, has been sentenced to 10 years and 11 months in prison for conspiring to distribute heroin and cocaine base, also known as ‘crack.’
According to court records, Warren conspired with others from Rochester and Maine to distribute heroin and crack between November 2016 and September 2017. He worked with others to sell drugs in central Maine that had been transported from Rochester.
Warren’s crimes didn’t stop there. He also recruited straw purchasers, gave them instructions on which firearms to purchase, and then paid them in cash or drugs to make the purchases using money that he provided. The firearms were then transported to Rochester.
Warren’s involvement in the firearm conspiracy charge resulted in a concurrent sentence of five years in prison and three years of supervised release.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives; the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency investigated the case.
The case was prosecuted as part of the program to combat the opioid epidemic.
U.S. Attorney Halsey B. Frank announced the sentencing, stating that Warren’s actions demonstrate the severity of the opioid crisis.
