A Florida man was sentenced Monday in U.S. District Court in Bangor for trafficking methamphetamine from Florida into Maine with the help of co-conspirators.
U.S. District Judge Lance E. Walker sentenced 32-year-old Jared Fogg to eight years in prison followed by five years of supervised release.
Fogg pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute and possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine in April.
Between May 2018 and July 2018, Fogg was obtaining large quantities of methamphetamine from Florida and distributing it in areas around Bangor and Houlton through a group of co-conspirators, according to court records.
On July 12, 2018, a truck driven by a co-conspirator and in which Fogg was a passenger was stopped by law enforcement in Lincoln, Maine.

A search of the truck revealed 30 grams of heroin and 100 grams of methamphetamine, and a loaded 9mm handgun and nearly $20,000 in cash was found in Fogg’s bag.
Multiple grams of methamphetamine were later recovered by law enforcement from Fogg’s home.
Both the U.S. and Maine Drug Enforcement Agencies investigated this case.
