BANGOR, Maine — A Maine man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for his role in a fentanyl trafficking conspiracy.
Christopher Beaucage, 38, of Penobscot was sentenced on Tuesday to 15 years in prison for conspiring to distribute fentanyl.
According to court records, Beaucage and a co-conspirator were stopped by a Bucksport police officer in October 2021.
After a search of the vehicle revealed approximately 60 grams of fentanyl, Beaucage admitted the fentanyl belonged to him, and he was arrested on outstanding warrants, documents show.
While he was incarcerated, officials say monitored and recorded phone calls revealed that Beaucage and others continued to engage in drug trafficking activities.
Details discussed included traveling out of state to meet with a source, the prices of the narcotics and distributing fentanyl to people in Maine.
Beaucage’s sentence will be followed by four years of supervised release.
