Portland Man Sentenced to 9 Years for Crack Distribution Conspiracy
A former Lewiston man has been sentenced to 9 years in prison for his role in a crack distribution conspiracy in Maine.
Lamar Young, 30, was sentenced by Judge George Z. Singal on November 28, 2016, after pleading guilty to conspiring to distribute 28 grams or more of cocaine base, commonly known as "crack."
According to court records, in late 2012 and early 2013, Young and other conspirators sold cocaine base out of an apartment in Lewiston.

The investigation was conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; the Lewiston Police Department; and the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency.
