Description:
Auburn Career Offender Sentenced to 10 Years for Trafficking Crack Cocaine
An Auburn man was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Portland for selling crack cocaine on two occasions to a confidential source working for the DEA.
Chief U.S. District Judge Lance E. Walker sentenced Pierre Calhoun, 35, to 120 months in prison to be followed by 3 years of supervised release. Calhoun pleaded guilty on November 19, 2024.
In May and June of 2024, agents from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) directed a confidential source to conduct two controlled buys from Calhoun. Both transactions were captured on video and audio recordings. The seized drugs were later tested by the DEA laboratory and confirmed to be approximately 24.7 grams of crack cocaine.
Because he had been previously convicted of at least two prior crimes of violence, the Court found that Calhoun qualified as a Career Offender, and was therefore exposed to an enhanced sentence under the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines.
DEA, the Lewiston Police Department, and the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency investigated the case.
