Derrick Favreau, Cocaine Trafficking, Maine 2014

Auburn Man Sentenced to Over Five Years for Cocaine Trafficking

An Auburn man has been sentenced to over five years in prison for his role in a cocaine trafficking operation in Maine.

Derrick Favreau, 33, was sentenced to 63 months in prison and three years of supervised release for possession with intent to distribute cocaine by Chief Judge Nancy Torresen in U.S. District Court.

Favraeu was also fined $5,000 as part of his sentence. He had pleaded guilty to the charges on July 26, 2016.

According to court records, law enforcement officers seized distributable amounts of cocaine from a hidden compartment in Favreau’s vehicle in May 2014. Additionally, officers seized $19,000 from a hidden compartment in a second vehicle operated by Favreau and $10,000 during the execution of a search warrant.

The investigation into Favreau’s activities was a joint effort between several law enforcement agencies, including the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency, the Maine State Police, the Lewiston and Auburn Police Departments, and the Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office.

Favraeu’s sentence is a reminder of the serious consequences that come with engaging in cocaine trafficking in Maine. The state has seen a significant increase in cocaine-related arrests and prosecutions in recent years.

The case against Favreau serves as a warning to those involved in the cocaine trade that they will be held accountable for their actions. The Grimy Times will continue to follow this story and provide updates as more information becomes available.
