Tyrone Fleurimont, Methamphetamine Trafficking, Maine 2024

Biddeford Man Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison for Methamphetamine Trafficking

A Biddeford man was sentenced to 10 years in prison for possessing methamphetamine with intent to distribute. Tyrone Fleurimont, 36, was sentenced on April 2024 in U.S. District Court in Portland.

According to court records, in April 2024, U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) investigators executed a search warrant at a Biddeford apartment used by Fleurimont. Agents seized approximately 180 grams of methamphetamine pills, 90 grams of crystal methamphetamine, 293 grams of cocaine, and 66 grams of cocaine base, along with cash, a 9mm handgun and a loaded 18-round magazine. Individually wrapped baggies containing approximately 14 grams of cocaine were also later recovered from Fleurimont’s person.

Fleurimont has prior criminal convictions in both Massachusetts and Maine, including a 2013 conviction for possessing a Class A drug with intent to distribute, a 2016 conviction for possessing a firearm without a permit, and a 2019 conviction for unlawful trafficking in scheduled drugs.

The DEA investigated the case with the assistance of the Biddeford Police Department. Chief U.S. District Judge Lance E. Walker sentenced Fleurimont to 120 months in prison to be followed by five years of supervised release.

Fleurimont's prior convictions demonstrate a clear pattern of criminal behavior, and his latest sentence reflects the severity of his crimes. The sentencing sends a strong message that methamphetamine trafficking will not be tolerated in Maine.

As Fleurimont begins his 10-year sentence, the community can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that a major player in the methamphetamine trade has been brought to justice.
