A Maine man and his daughter were convicted this week of running an operation that took drugs bought in Rhode Island to Dexter for sale.
Roger Belanger, 59, of Corinna and Kelli Mujo, 31, of Harmony and Wellington were convicted Monday of conspiracy to distribute and possession with the intent to distribute controlled substances, and of maintaining a drug-involved premise.
Jurors in the trial in U.S. District Court in Bangor were told that the two operated the drug distribution operation for 12 years, buying cocaine and oxycodone in Rhode Island and bringing it to Dexter to sell in the Maine community and surrounding towns.
They face 10 years to life in prison, a fine up to $10 million and five years to life on supervised release on the conspiracy charge. On the charge of maintaining a drug-involved premise, they face up to 20 years in prison, a fine up to $500,000 and as much as three years of supervised release.
Belanger and Mujo were among 10 people arrested on a drug sweep in Somerset and Penobscot counties in April 2015.
