Wendell White, Crack Distribution, Maine 2013

Former Bangor Resident Sentenced to Five Years for Crack Distribution

Bangor, Maine – Wendell White, 52, of Rumford, Maine, and formerly of Bangor, was sentenced to five years in prison and three years of supervised release for conspiring to distribute cocaine base, commonly known as "crack."

According to court records, White joined a conspiracy that operated between about January 2010 and August 2013 and that acquired crack in New Haven, Connecticut and distributed almost a kilogram of it in Penobscot County and elsewhere.

The defendant distributed and sold half-gram and gram quantities of crack throughout the Bangor area for $50 and $100, respectively, for Christian Turner, a/k/a "P" and Rodrigo Ramirez, a/k/a "Rico." He also allowed Turner, Ramirez and others to use his Sanford Street, Bangor apartment — where he and his three-year old son lived — as a place where crack could be sold and used.

Members of the conspiracy from New Haven included members of the Red Side Guerilla Brims, a violent street gang affiliated with the Almighty Blood Nation, a national street gang.

The case was investigated by the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency and the New Haven, Connecticut Office of Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the City of New Haven Department of Police Services.

Assistant United States Attorney Joel B. Casey was involved in the case and can be contacted at (207) 945-0373 for further information.
