In February 2025, a confidential source working with the FBI made multiple purchases of controlled drugs from Dashane Seamster, 30, of Lewiston.

On April 1, the source made another purchase of four ounces of methamphetamine and 120 grams of heroin from Seamster in Lewiston.

FBI investigators surveilled and recorded the transaction and arrested Seamseter.

Following his guilty plea, Seamster faces a mandatory minimum term of 10 years in prison, along with a maximum $10 million fine and up to a lifetime of supervised release.

Seamster was previously arrested in 2018 in Lewiston on charges of failing to submit to arrest and criminal trespass.

Not from Lewiston.
He’s from Oklahoma….
Arrested in 2015 for reckless with a firearm
outside the Acme Club in Lewiston..
Busted for drug trafficking in 2018 in Greene..
Now, in 2026, this p.o.s. is going to prison for drugs..
And we get to pay for his extended stay at the Warren Hilton….or wherever he ends up.
Lepage was right, and we need to take back our state…
The Home Depot is installing license plate reading cameras in their parking lots to catch
shoplifters. Can we put similar tech at our borders to identify drug suppliers travel patterns?
Gotta be cheaper than what we spend housing these “turds from away”..
