This case results from a joint investigation conducted by the United States Drug
Enforcement Administration, the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency, the Lewiston and Auburn
Police Departments and the ongoing effort of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task
Forces (OCDETF), a partnership between federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. The
principal mission of the OCDETF program is to identify, disrupt and dismantle the most serious
drug trafficking, weapons trafficking and money laundering organizations, and those primarily
responsible for the nation’s illegal drug supply.
