PORTLAND (AP) — A Massachusetts man has been sentenced in federal court to 12 years in prison on drug charges.
Joshua Snow of Lynn, Mass., was also sentenced Monday in U.S. District Court in Portland to six years of probation upon release.
Snow, 30, pleaded guilty in May to a charge of possession with intent to distribute oxycodone. According to court records, he was pulled over by Maine State Police on Interstate 95 in Falmouth in January and found to be in possession of 500 oxycodone pills.
Snow was found to be career offender which subjected him to harsher sentencing penalties.
