Lamar Young Pleads Guilty to Crack Conspiracy in Maine
Portland, Maine – In a shocking turn of events, Lamar Young, 29, formerly of Lewiston, Maine, has pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 28 grams or more of cocaine base, commonly known as "crack." This devastating crime has left a trail of destruction in its wake, and our readers deserve to know the truth.
According to court records, in late 2012 and early 2013, Young and other conspirators acquired crack and cocaine powder from suppliers in Massachusetts, brought it to Maine, turned the powder into crack as necessary, packaged it for distribution, and sold it out of an apartment in Lewiston to customers in that area.
The investigation into this heinous crime was conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; the Lewiston Police Department; and the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency. Their tireless efforts have brought Young to justice, and we commend them for their dedication to keeping our communities safe.
Young now faces between five and 40 years in prison, a $5,000,000 fine and at least four years of supervised release. He will be sentenced after the completion of a presentence investigation report by the U.S. Probation Office.
Lamar Young’s guilty plea is a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of crack conspiracy. Our readers deserve to know the truth about this crime, and we will continue to provide in-depth coverage of this case as it unfolds.
