Press Release

Harold Andujar-Pimentel found with more than two kilos of fentanyl

BANGOR, Maine: A Hyde Park, Massachusetts man was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Bangor for two drug trafficking charges and one firearms charge.

Chief U.S. District Judge Lance E. Walker sentenced Harold Andujar-Pimentel, 25, to 15 years in prison to be followed by five years of supervised release. Andujar-Pimentel pleaded guilty on December 21, 2023.

According to court records, in November 2022, law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at a residence in Anson, searching the main residence and a camper on the property. Andujar-Pimentel was located and detained in the camper, and after being detained, ran from officers who pursued him through the woods to apprehend him. Officers located a key to the camper on Andujar-Pimentel's person. During the search of the camper, officers recovered a plastic bag containing more than $5,000 in cash; a plastic bag that contained over 2,308 grams of fentanyl powder, 492.8 grams of pure methamphetamine, 453.9 grams of cocaine base, 89 Oxycodone pills, and 50 Xanax "bars"; and six firearms, including a loaded Glock Model 43 9mm handgun. Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that is up to 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine; just 2 mg of fentanyl is considered a potentially lethal dose.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Maine Drug Enforcement Administration (MDEA), Somerset County Sheriff's Office and Winslow Police Department investigated the case. The Somerset County District Attorney's Office assisted with the case.
