MA ‘Career Offender’ Sentenced to 13 Years For Attempting to Sell Fentanyl to Scarborough PD and DEA During Sting Operation

A Massachusetts man described by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maine as a “career offender” was sentenced Friday to 13 years in prison followed by five years of supervised release for attempting to sell fentanyl to members of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Scarborough Police during a sting operation

Eddy Azcona, 27, also known as “Cucu,” previously pleaded guilty in July to possessing 400 grams or more of fentanyl with intent to distribute.

In February 2023, the DEA and Scarborough Police arranged to make a controlled purchase of approximately a kilogram of fentanyl from Azcona at a shopping center parking lot in Scarborough, according to court records.

After being approached by law enforcement upon his arrival at the parking lot, Azcona attempted to flee and proceeded to crash into an unmarked police vehicle and a light pole.

Investigators recovered 975.4 grams of fentanyl from Azcona.

At the time of his federal arrest, Azcona had prior state convictions for drug offenses in both New Hampshire and Maine, the U.S. Attorney’s Office stated.
