BANGOR, Maine (WGAN) A Bangor woman has been sentenced for allowing the use of her home for drug trafficking.

According to the Bangor Daily News, 66-year-old Brenda Shaboski was sentenced to a year and a day in prison, as well as three years of supervised release.

She faced charges for renting out her Union Street home, which came to be known as “The Farm,” to out-of-town drug dealers who used it to distribute fentanyl. The home was the scene of assaults, overdoses, a non-fatal shooting, and a homicide.

The judge, who called the home a “drug den,” determined that it should be sold.
