A Union man has been sentenced in federal court for distributing fentanyl and cocaine. Kenneth Adams, 40, received a 10-year prison sentence followed by eight years of supervised release from U.S. District Judge John A. Woodcock, Jr. Adams had pleaded guilty on December 20, 2024.
Court records show that between December 2023 and June 2024, Adams trafficked kilogram quantities of fentanyl and cocaine from suppliers in the Bronx to mid-level dealers in Knox County, Maine, who then distributed the drugs further. The court also determined that Adams possessed at least one firearm related to his drug trafficking activities.
The case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations and the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency.
This prosecution is part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) investigation. According to OCDETF, the program “identifies, disrupts, and dismantles the highest-level drug traffickers, money launderers, gangs, and transnational criminal organizations that threaten the United States by using a prosecutor-led, intelligence-driven, multi-agency approach that leverages the strengths of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies against criminal networks.”
