Old Town Woman Sentenced to 3½ Years for Maintaining a Drug Involved Premises

The following press release was published by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of the United States Attorneys on May 29, 2018. It is reproduced in full below.

Bangor, Maine: United States Attorney Halsey B. Frank announced that Alialin Doughty, 29, of Old Town, Maine, was sentenced in U.S. District Court by Chief Judge Nancy Torresen to 3½ years in prison and three years of supervised release for maintaining a drug involved premises. Doughty pled guilty on Oct. 25, 2017.

According to court records, between April 2013 and July 2015, Doughty allowed her Bangor apartment to be used by Yanel Greene, Mario Lee and others to store, package and sell over 2.2 kilograms of cocaine base, commonly known as “crack," 154 grams of heroin and oxycodone.

In sentencing the defendant, Chief Judge Torresen said that “a lot of poison had been pumped into the community" through the defendant’s apartment and that the defendant’s conduct was aggravated by her 2009 state drug conviction for essentially the same kind of conduct -- making her apartment available as a location for drug dealers to operate.

The case was investigated by the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and prosecuted as part of the Department of Justice’s Strategy to Combat the Opioid Epidemic.
