Jennifer Golden, Conspiring to Distribute Fentanyl and Cocaine, Maine 2020

A Sanford woman was sentenced to 41 months in prison and four years of supervised release for conspiring to distribute fentanyl and cocaine in southern Maine.

U.S. District Judge George Z. Singal handed down the sentence to Jennifer Golden, 47, in federal court on February 5, 2020.

According to court records, Golden conspired with others to distribute fentanyl and cocaine in southern Maine between October 2018 and September 2019. One of her co-conspirators was arrested in Massachusetts while making a run to purchase drugs for her.

Police officers seized over 40 grams of cocaine and 100 grams of fentanyl incident to that arrest. On September 26, 2019, members of the FBI’s Safe Streets Gang Task Force and other officers executed search and arrest warrants at Golden’s residence in Sanford.

During the search, agents seized cocaine base, cocaine powder, fentanyl, psilocybin mushrooms, cutting agents, and a digital scale with drug residue. The FBI and the Sanford Police Department investigated the case.

The defendant pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute fentanyl and cocaine. Golden’s sentencing brings an end to the case, which began with a conspiracy that spanned nearly a year.

The Sanford Police Department and the FBI worked together to bring Golden to justice. The case serves as a reminder of the dangers of drug trafficking and the importance of community policing.
