Presque Isle Man Sentenced for Methamphetamine Conspiracies
BANGOR, Maine— Tyler Neece, 29, of Presque Isle was sentenced to 165 months in prison and five years of supervised release for conspiring to distribute and possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine, Acting U.S. Attorney Donald E. Clark announced.
Neece pleaded guilty in February 2021. According to court records, between January 2017 and August 2018, Neece and his co-conspirators obtained methamphetamine from an out-of-state source and distributed the drugs in northern Maine.
Additionally, between July 2018 and May 2019, members of a separate conspiracy obtained methamphetamine in western and southern states from sources in Mexico. Neece and his co-conspirators distributed the drugs in Aroostook County and other parts of central and northern Maine.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, Homeland Security Investigations, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency investigated these cases with the assistance of multiple state and local law enforcement agencies.
The investigation was part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) case, which identifies, disrupts, and dismantles high-level drug traffickers and transnational criminal organizations.
The OCDETF approach leverages the strengths of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies against criminal networks, using a prosecutor-led, intelligence-driven, multi-agency approach.
Neece’s sentence is a result of his involvement in these two separate conspiracies. His case serves as a reminder of the ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking in Maine and the importance of interagency collaboration in these efforts.
