An Auburn man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for trafficking crack cocaine. The sentencing took place in U.S. District Court in Portland, where Chief U.S. District Judge Lance E. Walker imposed a sentence of 120 months on Pierre Calhoun, aged 35. This will be followed by three years of supervised release.
Calhoun had pleaded guilty on November 19, 2024, to charges related to selling crack cocaine to a confidential source working with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). The transactions occurred in May and June of 2024 and were documented through video and audio recordings. Subsequent testing by the DEA laboratory confirmed that the drugs involved amounted to approximately 24.7 grams of crack cocaine.
The court determined that Calhoun qualified as a Career Offender due to his previous convictions for at least two prior crimes of violence. This status subjected him to an enhanced sentence under the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines.
The investigation was conducted by the DEA, along with support from the Lewiston Police Department and the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency.
