A New York resident has been sentenced for possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine in Maine.
Qu’tessa Johnson, 37, was sentenced to five years probation by U.S. District Judge Stacey Neumann on July 28, 2026, in U.S. District Court in Bangor.
Johnson pleaded guilty to the charges on March 3, 2026. According to court records, the incident occurred on September 12, 2024.
Johnson accidentally drove her vehicle through the Houlton Port of Entry into Canada while traveling north on I-95 from New York City. When she realized her mistake, she backed up her vehicle in an attempt to return to the United States.
She was referred for secondary inspection and, during a search of her vehicle, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officers discovered two bags containing more than 1.7 kilograms of methamphetamine.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office of Field Operations and Homeland Security Investigations investigated the case.
Johnson’s guilty plea and subsequent sentencing bring an end to the investigation and prosecution of the defendant.
The Grimy Times will continue to provide updates on this case as more information becomes available.
