The United States Attorney’s Office says that a man from Massachusetts has been sentenced for trafficking fentanyl into Maine.

Alvin Dorsey, 39, was said to have been sentenced on Thursday to 18 months in prison with an additional three years of supervised release.

Dorsey plead guilty back in January for the crime.

CBS 13 reports that according to the U.S. Attorney’s office, the DEA had arranged an operation that involved an informant purchasing fentanyl in Biddeford from the target of their investigation.

It turned out that their target happened to be Dorsey.

The investigation was said to have been helped by the DEA Airport Group, The Massachusetts State Police Airport group, and the Biddeford Police Department.
