Bangor Man Found With 38 Bags of Fentanyl Pleads Guilty to Drug, Firearm Charges

A Bangor man who was found with drug paraphernalia and a firearm during a traffic stop pleaded guilty Friday in U.S. District Court in Bangor to charges of being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm and possessing controlled substances with the intent to distribute them.

Andrew Blais, 37, of Bangor, was arrested by Bangor Police in October 2023 after police identified an active warrant out for his arrest during a traffic stop.

According to court records, officers observed drug paraphernalia in open view inside Blais’ vehicle, and recovered bundles of cash and a loaded handgun from his person.

A subsequent search of Blais at the Penobscot County Jail revealed 38 individual bags containing fentanyl concealed underneath his clothing, federal prosecutors said.

According to the Maine U.S. Attorney’s Office, Blais was prohibited from possessing a firearm or ammunition due to a prior felony drug trafficking conviction.

Blais faces up to 20 years in prison, a fine of up to $1 million and at least three years of supervised release.

I’m gonna havta fly in chinese protector cyborgs to keep the entenmanns gang away from my grow houses. Why can’t you just forget about mariiuana? Mariiuana not harmful. First thing i’m going to program those cyborgs to do is make sage houses. They’ll spend every free minute stocking houses with thousands of sage plants. That way, you won’t be able to tell if it mariiuana grow house or counterfeit mariiuana grow house ha! ha!

Eddington and Holden residents order the fentanyl and its derivatives direct from China thru the postal service which ensures its delivery in a one destination trip. Notice how the postal vehicles aren’t making route delivery and are instead driving direct to one location. Notice how anywhere there is suspicious postal vehicle activity the area is full of non-working disabled or otherwise. Postal vehicles always seen on Sunday, some don’t even have plates. By allowing postal delivery of medicine to people who are seemingly sick enough to require immediate medicine but not sick enough to have a home nurse to get it, the narcotics problem here flourishes because a two pound bag of carfentanyl can be bought direct from China or Mexico with labels indicating it to be fertilizer. The traffickers also buy a dozen bags of actual fertilizer to obfuscate what they’re doing. Drug scanners and K-9 should be being brought into brewer post office, as well as Eddington Holden Dedham and others by MDEA at random with no warning. Searches of postal vehicles with the same methods, and especially on Sunndays

Truck and backhoe brought into stony ridge rd, no access fees charged or paid, continued mismanagement of road system and more freebies for those who turn narcotics money into inappropriate housing development for more youngsters they can coerce into selling for them. RENTALS ARE NOT ALLOWED ON STONY RIDGE ROAD!!!! Drug traffickers are being housed in out buildings such as where and garages and cash rent illegally transacted. Town is 100% responsible for the illicit activity and permits this mismanagement through its own inaction. Town takes no supervisory role over the charter it issued. ROOM FOR MORE MODULARS AND PREFABS IS BEING MADE RIGHT NOW TODAY FREE OF CHARGE AND WITH NO OVERSIGHT!!!! This is why the narcotics problem is never solved! Delivery vehicles ESPECIALLY POST OFFICE VEHICLES bring that garbage in here and ESPECIALLY ON SUNDAYS am there still remain a good number of them who are selling actively daily from vehicles and homes on the road system. Uncharged construction sized vehicles and machines doing work inappropriate for their presence, such scenes are in fact DRUG TRAFFICKING OPERATIONS HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT!!!! There is an entire convoy of vehicles that if they were properly overseen and charged there would be no need for resident road fees. MORE CONTINUED FREEBIES FOR NARCOTICS TRAFFiCKERS WHO BLACKMAIL CORRUPT TOWN OFFICIALS!!!! MORE WAYS TO LAUNDER THE NARCOTICS MONEY AROUND BANK REGULATORS!!! EVERY ONE OF THESE VEHICLES HERE IS INVOLVED!!! NARCOTICS IS WHAT KEEPS THESE COMPANIES RUNNING, NOT THE SO-CALLED WORK ACCOMPLISHED OR SERVICES PROVIDED!!!!

Red dump truck hauling backhoe on trailer which preceeded the arrival of all other trucks yesterday morning spent yesterday and this morning moving loads of dirt and just now exiting road with the backhoe! Unless the truck is going to return now today tomorrow next day with a bulldozer, watch for a near future return of red dump truck with backhoe, which will do nothing other than full the same dirt into red dump truck which will spend an equal amount of time moving the same dirt either back to origin of to another place. The purposeless transporting piling and retransporting a big smokescreen for narcotics trafficking at presumably high amounts.

It’s a great bunch of distracting shit – stolen fronthoe, flying in the airplane up there Sunday like a retard, attracting as much attention to yourself as you could. The stunt won’t work, they know you’re hauling narcotics in those needless loads of dirt, they know you’ve been doing it a long time, and they are watching you. Probably they feel sorry for you, but it isn’t like you can’t sell stuff off, pay your debt, and then move yourselves out of here, because let me tell you YOU ARE NOT WANTED HERE.

Blackmailing town officials postal workers and police IS A CRIME, and you’re not going to get away with that no matter what you do. But if you stop trafficking poison, and admit to yourself you’re not a business owner, nor do you or any of the clowns who ‘work’ with you have any idea how to even run a construction business, have a dose of reality and clean yourselves up, chances are the lenient judges in this State will go easy on you.

We have purchased more drones and more cameras, and as we’ve told you before, WE ARE WATCHING YOU

After bringing bladeless fronthoe onto rd yesterday at noontime for no reason, red dump truck returned just now angrily beating the air brakes and being overt. Now pointless trips with red dump truck will resume, no actual work being done, it is all to conceal narcotics sales/transfer. Gold utility truck signalling to red dump truck which then followed utility truck out of stony ridge abruptly without load

Red dump trump continues to haul loads of dirt onto stony ridge road in eddington. This one vehicle has made over 200 trips onto the road this year alone. Lack of town oversight continues to provide freebies for narcotics dealers posing as developers in a town millions in debt. This one vehicle should have paid over 20,000 in road access fees and town performance fees, and this is just one road! Continued mismanagement by town officials who never leave the town office, not even to set up a.camera!!!! Truck is speeding, airbraking aggressively, destroying road surface, and is operating illegally.
