Marius Lamont Maye, Fentanyl Distribution, Connecticut 2022

A 49-year-old Bridgeport man has been sentenced to 6 years in federal prison for distributing fentanyl and heroin.

Marius Lamont Maye, also known as ‘Pee Wee,’ was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Omar A. Williams in Hartford on Wednesday. 

According to court documents and statements made in court, law enforcement made controlled purchases of fentanyl from Maye in January and February 2019. Investigators also conducted a controlled purchase of heroin from Maye in September 2019.

On October 3, 2019, a court-authorized search of Maye’s Bridgeport residence revealed two handguns, gun magazines, and ammunition.

Maye was arrested on October 16, 2020, and pleaded guilty to three counts of possessing with intent to distribute, and distribution of, controlled substances on May 3, 2022.

Maye’s criminal history includes seven prior drug-related convictions and a manslaughter conviction. In 2008, he was sentenced in Bridgeport federal court to 72 months of imprisonment and eight years of supervised release for a narcotics distribution offense.

Maye was released on $200,000 bond and is required to report to prison on October 30. The investigation was conducted by the FBI’s Bridgeport Safe Streets Task Force, which includes personnel from the Connecticut State Police and the Bridgeport, Norwalk, and Trumbull Police Departments.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Karen L. Peck and Brendan J. Keefe.
