Bangor Man Sentenced for Drug Trafficking

Andrew Marin worked with Massachusetts fentanyl traffickers

BANGOR, Maine: A Bangor man was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Bangor for possessing fentanyl with intent to distribute.

U.S. District Judge Stacey D. Neumann sentenced Andrew Marin, 38, to 12 months and one day in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release. Marin pleaded guilty on September 10, 2025.

According to court records, Marin was found in possession of drugs he received from Massachusetts fentanyl suppliers in April of 2024. Evidence, such as phone records, indicated Marin had been regularly obtaining fentanyl from these same suppliers and distributing drugs in the Bangor area.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration investigated this case, with the assistance of the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency and Penobscot County Sheriff's Office.

Operation Take Back America: This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.
