Maine man, 59, pleads guilty to drug distribution charges

BANGOR, Maine (AP) - A Maine man has pleaded guilty to drug charges in connection to a police sweep earlier this year.

The Kennebec Journal reports (https://bit.ly/1PiYq6l ) Raymond Ferris, of Detroit, entered the plea last week in a Bangor court to conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute oxycodone.

Authorities say an April search of Ferris’ home found more than 100 oxycodone pills, 17 bags of heroin and other substances.

Prosecutors said 59-year-old Ferris joined and participated in a drug trafficking conspiracy between April 2013 and April 2015. They said he sold oxycodone pills throughout Somerset County.

A sentencing date has not been set.
