Houlton Man Sentenced for Methamphetamine Trafficking

BANGOR, Maine: A Houlton man was sentenced today in federal court for conspiring to distribute methamphetamine, U.S. Attorney Darcie N. McElwee announced.

U.S. District Judge Lance E. Walker sentenced Hayden Fogg, 35, to 12 months and one day in prison and three years of supervised release. Fogg pleaded guilty on June 28, 2021.

According to court records, between approximately May 2018 and July 2018, Fogg was part of a drug distribution operation based out of Florida and operating in northern Maine. A co-conspirator obtained large quantities of methamphetamine from Florida and had it transported to Maine. Fogg sold the drug in the Houlton area while other members of the conspiracy sold it in Bangor and Howland.

“The community of Houlton and the surrounding area have seen a troubling increase in methamphetamine use, which law enforcement officials are taking seriously,” said U.S. Attorney McElwee. “If you, or someone you love, is struggling with such an addiction, please visit  www.powerofprevention.org for the Aroostook County Substance Abuse Directory.”

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency investigated the case.
