A Maine man pleaded guilty Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Bangor to intentionally making false statements to a federal law enforcement agent, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maine.

According to court records, in November 2022, 24-year-old Victor Sousa of Wayne, Maine, was questioned by a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration officer regarding two subjects of a federal narcotics investigation.

Sousa then denied that he knew either suspect, but proceeded to call “Suspect A” from jail multiple times, had previously lived with “Suspect A,” and “Suspect B” had supplied Sousa with narcotics in the past, the U.S. Attorney’s Office stated.

Sousa faces up to five years and prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
