PORTLAND — A Biddeford man has been sentenced to five years behind bars for conspiracy to distribute oxycodone, a prescription opioid pain medication, and cocaine, court officials said Monday.
Anthony Lacomb, 30, was sentenced Monday in U.S. District Court after pleading guilty to drug charges in February, Thomas Delahanty, U.S. attorney for the district of Maine, said in a press release.
Lacomb was arrested in Scarborough in April 2015 after an undercover agent ordered both types of drugs from him. An ounce of cocaine and 35 oxycodone pills were seized during the ensuing transaction, at which time Lacomb and another conspirator who was also present were arrested.
Court records state that Lacomb was a manager of drug traffickers who imported both types of drugs from Rhode Island to Maine in both 2014 and 2015. Lacomb was also sentenced to three years of supervised release following his time in prison.
