Drug Trafficking Ring Busted in Maine: Troy Roberts Sentenced to 2 Years
A Bronx, New York man has been brought to justice for his involvement in a drug trafficking ring that operated in Bangor, Maine. Troy Roberts, 27, was sentenced to two years in prison and three years of supervised release by U.S. District Judge Lance E. Walker.
The investigation, led by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency, and the Maine State Police, revealed that Roberts was a member of a group that made multiple trips to Bangor from New York City to sell drugs.
On November 21, 2019, law enforcement officers received a tip that Roberts was coming to Bangor by bus with drugs to sell in the area. Officers conducted surveillance of the bus station and observed Roberts exit a bus carrying a backpack. A traffic stop was then conducted, resulting in the discovery of approximately one ounce of cocaine base (crack) and one ounce of heroin in the backpack Roberts had been carrying.
The charges against Roberts include possession with the intent to distribute cocaine base and heroin. His sentence of two years in prison and three years of supervised release serves as a reminder of the consequences of engaging in drug trafficking activities in Maine.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maine announced the sentencing, highlighting the importance of holding individuals accountable for their role in the opioid epidemic. This case is a testament to the dedication and hard work of law enforcement agencies in Maine who continue to work tirelessly to keep their communities safe.
