BIDDEFORD — A Massachusetts man was sentenced June 26 in U.S. District Court in Portland to 18 months in prison for trafficking fentanyl into Maine.
U.S. District Judge John A. Woodcock Jr. sentenced Alvin Dorsey, 39, to 18 months in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release.
Dorsey pleaded guilty Jan. 24.
According to court records, in June 2023, a confidential source working at the direction of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration arranged the purchase of two “sticks” of fentanyl from a drug dealer who was the target of a federal investigation.
Each stick contained 20 grams of fentanyl.
Dorsey showed up in Biddeford with the drug order and completed the transaction with the informant.
Dorsey was later charged by a grand jury with distributing fentanyl, leading to his arrest and prosecution.
The DEA investigated the case, with support from the DEA Airport Group, the Massachusetts State Police Airport Group, and the Biddeford Police Department.
