A Maine woman could spend life behind bars for her role in a drug trafficking ring.

According to the Bangor Daily News, the FBI has accused 31-year-old Shelby Kleffman of Trenton of participating in a drug ring that brought fentanyl, cocaine and meth from Massachusetts to Maine.

The agency identified Kleffman along with two Massachusetts men, 22-year-old Armani Minier-Tejada and 55-year-old Miguel Minier, as being involved in the ring.

Kleffman and Minier-Tejada were arrested Friday and appeared Monday morning via video before a judge. The two are also charged with possession of firearms in support of the alleged trafficking scheme.

Minier-Tejada’s case was moved to federal court in Massachusetts. Minier remains wanted on an FBI arrest warrant.
