Harmony Couple Cops 3 Years for Cocaine Conspiracy

Eugene Moulton, 67, and Antoinette Perreault, 48, both of Harmony, Maine, are headed to federal prison after copping guilty pleas to their roles in a long-running cocaine distribution conspiracy that pumped drugs into central Maine for nearly three years. The couple, once pillars of their tight-knit rural community, now face hard time behind bars for choosing crime over lawfulness.

Moulton was hit with a three-year prison sentence and three years of supervised release, while Perreault was handed 20 months in prison and the same three-year supervision term. U.S. District Judge Jon D. Levy handed down the sentences today in Bangor, following the pair’s guilty pleas on July 20, 2016. The feds didn’t pull punches—this was a calculated operation, and the punishment reflects it.

Court records reveal the duo fed into a larger drug network run by ringleader Roger Belanger and his daughter, Kelli Mujo, which operated between January 2002 and November 2014. The organization trafficked cocaine from Rhode Island straight into the Dexter area, with Moulton and Perreault acting as local distributors in Harmony. The supply chain was steady, the stakes high, and the profits dirty.

Moulton didn’t just sell coke—he bartered it. Stolen property traded hands for pure, uncut cocaine, deepening the criminal web and linking the drug trade to property theft across rural Penobscot County. Every transaction fed addiction, fueled crime, and eroded trust in already-struggling communities.

Belanger and Mujo aren’t getting off easy either. On August 19, 2016, they were convicted by a jury after a hard-fought trial and now await their own sentencing. Federal prosecutors are treating this ring like the organized threat it was—not some backwoods hustle, but a coordinated, years-long assault on public safety.

The takedown was a joint operation by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency, with critical support from the Dexter Police Department, the Penobscot County Sheriff’s Office, the Piscataquis County Sheriff’s Office, and the Maine State Police. Assistant U.S. Attorney Joel B. Casey, who can be reached at (207) 945-0373, prosecuted the case under the watch of U.S. Attorney Thomas E. Delahanty II.
