Maine Man Sentenced to 7 Years for Fentanyl Trafficking

A Dorchester, Massachusetts man was sentenced to seven years in prison for conspiring to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute 40 grams or more of fentanyl, being a felon in possession of a firearm, and aiding and abetting the straw purchase of firearms.

Sergio Figueroa, also known as “Kash,” 26, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Lance E. Walker in federal court in Bangor, Maine.

According to court records, in April 2021, Figueroa conspired to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute fentanyl. As part of the conspiracy, he used a residence in Bangor to store and distribute drugs.

On April 21, 2021, agents with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency executed a search warrant at the Bangor residence. Upon searching Figueroa’s bedroom, agents found 80 grams of fentanyl and $1,680 in cash along with a loaded .380 caliber pistol.

Figueroa was prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition because of a prior Maine felony conviction.

In a separate incident in January 2020, court records show that Figueroa arranged for a straw purchaser to buy two pistols for him from a federal firearm licensee in Androscoggin County.

The case was investigated by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Lewiston Police Department.

Figueroa pleaded guilty on October 19, 2021. He was sentenced to seven years in prison and four years of supervised release.
