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.
