Devonne Scott was caught on tape selling cocaine base to FBI confidential informant
PORTLAND, Maine: An Auburn man was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Portland today for distributing cocaine base.
U.S. District Judge John A. Woodcock, Jr. sentenced Devonne Scott, 31, to 35 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release. Scott pleaded guilty on September 19, 2024.
According to court records, in July 2023, a confidential informant reported to the FBI that a man they knew agreed to sell the informant crack cocaine. In August 2023, the informant conducted two controlled buys of suspected cocaine base from Scott with the exchanges monitored and videotaped by the FBI and law enforcement partners. Laboratory tests confirmed the substances purchased contained cocaine base.
The FBI investigated the case, together with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the Lewiston Police Department.
