Mark Tasker, Cocaine and Oxycodone Trafficking, Maine 2016

Dexter Man Sentenced to 10 Years for Cocaine and Oxycodone Trafficking

Bangor, Maine, U.S. – In a major blow to the state’s narcotics trade, Mark Tasker, 49, of Dexter, Maine, was sentenced to 10 years in prison and five years of supervised release for conspiring to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute cocaine and oxycodone and maintaining a drug involved premise.

According to court records, between January 2002 and November 2014, Tasker conspired with Kelli Mujo and her father, Roger Belanger, to distribute cocaine and oxycodone in the Dexter area. The drugs were acquired by Mujo and Belanger in Rhode Island and transported to Maine. From January 2012 until November 2014, Tasker used his residence in Dexter to distribute them.

‘The length and breadth of the conspiracy was ‘extraordinary’ and that Tasker had participated in it during its entire existence,’ Judge Jon D. Levy observed in sentencing the defendant.

The case was investigated by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency, with assistance provided by the Dexter Police Department, the Penobscot, Somerset and Piscataquis County Sheriff’s Offices.

Tasker pleaded guilty on July 20, 2016. He is currently serving his sentence.

This is a significant victory for law enforcement in the state of Maine, and we will continue to work tirelessly to bring traffickers to justice and make our communities safer.
