Bangor, Maine: United States Attorney Thomas E. Delahanty II announced that Troy
Spittle, 37, of Perth, New Brunswick, Canada, was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in
Bangor, Maine, to 46 months imprisonment, 3 years supervised release and an $100 special
assessment, for importation of oxycodone. Spittle pled guilty on April 30, 2012.

Court records reveal that in February 2012, Spittle entered the United States from Canada
by car at the Fort Fairfield Port of Entry. During secondary inspection, a Customs and Border
Protection officer discovered 23 oxycodone 80 mg tablets of Canadian manufacture hidden
inside the seam line of Spittle’s pants.

The investigation was conducted jointly by Homeland Security Investigations, Customs
and Border Protection and the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency.
