Somerset County Man Caught with 760 grams of Fentanyl is Sentenced to 57 Months for Drug Trafficking

BANGOR, Maine: A Somerset County man was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Bangor for possession with intent to distribute fentanyl.

U.S. District Judge John A. Woodcock, Jr. sentenced Cody Mosher, 29, to 57 months in prison to be followed by four years of supervised release. Mosher pleaded guilty on September 1, 2023.

According to court records, in January 2023, Mosher led law enforcement on a high-speed chase through Norridgewock and Madison after deputies approached his vehicle and informed him they were executing a search warrant and arrest warrant. Once stopped, Mosher was placed under arrest and his vehicle searched. Investigators recovered approximately 760 grams of fentanyl, 21 grams of cocaine, a digital scale, and a substantial amount of cash from the vehicle. Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that is up to 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine; just 2 mg of fentanyl is considered a potentially lethal dose.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Somerset County Sheriff’s Office investigated the case with assistance from the Maine State Police.
